    He moved because he wasn't happy. Could have been flow issue, could have been something else bugging him. Looks like red-leg hermits are a no no with condy's according to this. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=497+499+619&pcatid=619 Do you have any of them?

    I would think if it's not getting enough light, it will move into more light. I had one of those a couple years ago, it lived 24 hours before getting sucked through mu overflow.

    Yeah it'll move if it deems that that isn't a good spot, which I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Unfortunately with nem's most of the time we don't get to pick the spot it ends up. It chooses its own spot, and we have to work around it. What do you have for pumps in your tank? That is areal issue to be mindful of as its settling in and finding its spot. You don't want nem soup.

    Remember you just increased your lighting. Its not used to you yet. Give it time to acclimate

    I'm sure it just needs some time. I just don't want it to harm itself...
