Corals

[BigTomo003]

Hey all, orderd some new corals and an anemone for my clowns. Arrives tomorrow so would like some quick advice please.

I know bta move around and will sting anything in thair way so I'm wondering should I add the anemone in overnight and place the corals in a bucket or something untill he gets his spot? Or Place them in the sandbed or just thair spots I think they will look good?

I have a plan on where the nem is going which is the highest most intense spot in the tank but ofc he will probably move. I got some pretty expensive frags so I don't want any of them to die.

What should I do?


The top left rock I'd the one I plan on having him, sorry for blue light

You can try putting it in the hole/crevice if that top left rock. Just turn off the powerhead flow and put a sponge or wrap floss around the canister intake. I would not turn off the canister for a long period or risk the bacteria dying. Not sure what is in there.

I would suggest that you shove the anemones foot into the crevice and then cup it for 5 to 10 mins. It should attached within that time.

just know that the anemone will love to where it wants. So you will constantly have this problem with corals possibility of getting stung. But I wouldn’t move them out of the tank just for a BTA to get settled in.

Okay thanks, yeah I plan on gluing the corals as I've had some die due to chunky hermits with huge shells knock them over.

The crevice u are on about is exactly the place I was thinking as it goes almost to the other side of the rock.
