gtahuahua Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I purchased a LT Anemone last week for my tank in my office. I placed it towards the bottom of my tank near a spot that I felt it would like and turned off the power heads for 24 hours to allow it to move. It remained there for awhile and seemed happy, however after the weekend I came in this morning and found it behind my entire rock formation and it doesn't look good. I'm trying to determine if I should just leave it alone and pray it finds its way back to the front of the tank, or if I need to move around my rocks to get to it. Any help you can give would be appreciated! Photo of the anemone behind the rock is attached. UPDATE: I was able to move it, but it doesn't look good.

Jimbo662 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Just leave it. The one thing to know about most anemones is that they do what they want whenever they want. It'll eventually find a spot it likes. I know bubble tips can take weeks to settle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll eventually find a spot it likes. I know bubble tips can take weeks to settle down. +1 LTA's are quite a bit different than BTAs. I've found them harder to keep, but the general rule of thumb with an anemone is to let it find where it's going to be happy. As long as it isn't headed for a power head don't try to move it. I also would leave powerheads, lights, etc. all how you intend them to be. Otherwise it will settle and then have to move again once you turn everything back on.

Juiceman Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Looks like it's just upside down. Don't try to get it to be where "you" want it. Let it find where "it" wants to be. Leave your pumps and lights on however they will normally be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 in soviet russia, you dont own anemone, anemone own you. (ok, pretty much anywhere in the world really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtahuahua Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thanks everyone for your help, he seems to be moving around and search now. I've had only a few anemones in my salwater lifetime, but what Isaac said above couldn't be more true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
