I frequently see many photos of reef tanks with RBTA. I have reef tank with a RBTA. I am constantly moving corals out of its way in fear that it will do some serious damage. Am I being overprotective? Does anyone else do this? While I love the anemone and so does my clown it is becoming quite the burden. Thoughts please?

I got my rose isolated on the right side of my tank. It's been there since day 1. I guess I got lucky.

If an anemone is "happy," it is unlikely to move around. Try feeding it a bit more frequently e.g a nice chunk of shrimp, weekly or more?. This worked for me, but the anemone can get really big :)

How often are you feeding it? and what?

Agreed, they move because they aren't happy with their current location. usually it's a matter of light and/or flow.
Keep moving things you don't want to get "burned". Isolating it works sometimes too. But they can let go of the surface and "float" to a new spot.
I also agree with trying to feed a bit more. I usually feed mine a half a raw shrimp every week.
