Hi,
I am new to reefing and just got my first anemone. It is a beautiful specimen from Liveaquaria. They describe it as a "long tentacle anemone". According to the sticky thread in this forum, it should attach itself to the base of my rock work at the intersection of the rock and the sand. However, it seems to be floating and moving in the current. My flow is not super strong (I have a FLO of 5.0 on my Apex Waves). The anemone is not tumbling a lot. In fact, 80% of the time it is stable and upright in a low flow corner of the tank. Occasionally, the current will upend it, but then it gets back to the upright position.
My questions are "is this normal?" and "how long will it take for it to attach itself?".
TIA!
