My brain keeps moving...?

CATALYST · 07-25-2007, 12:10 PM

It keeps ending up near the glass...a couple inches from where I put it. Anybody else's move?

Only when I stand up very quickly and shake My head

Sorry couldn't help that one!!

I'm always asking for it...

Cassette87 · 07-25-2007, 12:32 PM

I always thought they were not mobile.. but heck who knows? I've never seen mine move, although i suppose if it could somehow control the filling of it's "ballasts" it could somehow move? What is the current like where you're trying to place it? Any fish in there that are picking on it?

BigAl07 · 07-25-2007, 12:35 PM

Mine hasn't moved in my tank except when the conch gets lodged under it and moves it ever so slightly. I too was under the impression they aren't mobile in that sense. I thought that they only moved via reproduction.

I tested it to be sure. I put it right in the center of where my rocks are. I could clean my glass with my magnet with out touching it with room to spare. Today it's pressed up against the glass.

my brain always moved against the glass too. i dont know why.

Dentoid · 07-25-2007, 03:20 PM

I thought it was just me, but mine seems to move towards the glass too! Could it be light reflecting off the glass? It even seems to change shape slightly from time to time.

caitrina · 07-25-2007, 03:22 PM

hmmmm, strange, I didn't think they moved either. I have had mine in the same spots for over a year, well except when the big snails or hermits have caused them to move.

Cassette87 · 07-25-2007, 03:26 PM

wow.. maybe they're smarter than we thought!

sorry had to do it

caitrina · 07-25-2007, 03:30 PM

lol, maybe thats why they call them Brains? Ya think? lol

My Lobo brain is in the corner of my tank, and it moves up against the glass as well. My plate coral does the same thing.

caitrina · 07-25-2007, 05:21 PM

Well , if you ask me I think it's all in your head...lol..sorry...just had to...

Seasalt Dreams · 08-19-2007, 10:30 PM

They dont move, are you sure its not just because it is swelling a few inches in size, bringing it closer to the glass?

sasquatch · 08-19-2007, 10:50 PM

Mine walks, sometimes 2 inches, I think thats why they need to be on sand so they dont get cut on the rocks
