do I need to move this carpet?

This is the carpet I got from Brandon... I've been VERY heppy with it, it's been super easy to keep, and has been very perky and healthy... the crab that came with it is cool too :)

ANYHOOOOO..... the carpet dug right into the first place I put it, which unfortunately was in a semi-cramped space, I found, after it got fullsized... it's fully dug in, and seems happy except for being crammed up against the glass and overflow on three sides... it's foot is fully to the bottom of the sandbed, and can be seen from below, if you look underneath.

The million dollar question is: should I uproot and move it to give it more room??

Looks happy to me.. With all the flow in your tank, it makes sense it might try and find a sheltered place like that. It will move if it is not happy.. now if you want it in a different area , you could try the ice-cube trick.. gonna be hard on that deep tank, or put a powerhead close to him and point it at him, he'll get pissed and move :)

My sebae is folded against the side like that, been there for over a year with no problems.

If it looks good, it's not a problem with it being there and it's happy then leave it.

The guys are right,...If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Did you see the picture of my anemone? It also likes the corner.

Yeah, I see that Jeff... didn't it move from left-center over to the corner? I seem to remember it being right in the path of the outflow bouncing off the front glass at one time...
