I won't apologize for the title.
Hoping some more experienced keepers can give me some input on my plan. I picked up a bubbletip that someone was holding for me, but they wanted it out about 6 weeks earlier than I had planned for. The end game was to give it, and it's fellow anemonean citizens it's own 15g cube to live in. However, I still have all of my coral in this tank, and the 25 lagoon won't be ready for a week or so. This means I still need to maintain pretty hefty flow, and the rock is a bit crowded.
So after scouring a bunch of threads and reading a lot of @OrionN 's posts, I decided to put a few pieces of LR rubble into a measuring cup, then I put the anemone in there. This kind of kept it protected from the flow, and also gave the opportunity to see how it's underside and foot were doing.
I'd like to keep him/her in the cup for about 4-5 more days. At this point, I am just trying to keep the water stable and keep my hands off the anemone. Any issues with this plan? I was a bit concerned this morning when he looked a little bit smaller and less extended, but overall the colouration is good and I don't see any issues with the foot. I've only kept anemones under halides and in larger tanks long ago, the margins for error feel much slimmer now with this small tank.
