    Default Ric's Moving?

    Hello to all at Captive Reefing. I am new to the site and finding it very addictive already. Everyone in the posts seems very friendly and helpful.

    I bought a couple of Ric's the other day from the LFS. Brought them home and placed them into the tank. I placed them on the rock work half way up in the tank. The Ric's must not have liked the placement I found for them because they seemed to inch their way off the rock. In doing so they fell into the structure. I have located one of the Ric's inside the rock work, but can not get to him unless I tear down the rock work. Will the Ric's move until they work themselves back to the top of the rock work? Or will I need to rear down the rock to rescue them?

    Pete,

    Welcome Aboard!!!!
    I would just keep an eye on the rics if they do not like where they are at then yes they will tend to move a bit. I would give them a day or 2 to see what they do if they do not look like they are moving then you might want to try and get them and re set them in the tank.
    best of luck to you and once again ......WELCOME TO CAPTIVE REEFING

    Rics don't like high flow so if you have them in a high flow
    Thea will try to move.
    Some will do it if under high lighting to
