I just got new lights. another 2 t-5's to add to my current ones. ANYWAY, my carpet anemone is on the move. So, now I am afraid to go to bed because I am afraid it is going to kill EVERYTHING in my tank...help?

I don't think it will kill anything, they tend to move whenever things change in the tank, such as lighting. It will find a spot and get comfy again

Give it some time. It'll find a nice cozy spot. It just needs time to adjust to the new lights.

If it touches corals, it may kill them... But once it's found a nice spot, hopefully it will stay put.

Well, it seems to have settled in and at a safe distance from all of my corals. Thankfully I never lost anything. I have to say though, it was a stressfull night!!
