Heteractis Crispa not attaching

I’m skeptical of that material. Have you used it before? The pH claims seems nonsensical.

What is “filtered water” that has 2.7 dKH?

Salt worked, KH back at 8.5

With filtered water I meant reverse osmosis system, not a native english speaker tho :)

Hello I had bought a bleached crispa at the latter half of last year. And like yours it’s bleached but had sticky tentacles
I found I tried everything with mine to get it to anchor ie digging holes placing it on rocks/glass
And in the end I just left it be and it found its own spot on the rock and sand line.

I found that it would shy away from light in the day and stretch out in the night. So lowering my lights helped

Then after a week or two I started to feed small pieces of clam once/twice a week and it’s started to look dirty so guessing it’s getting its zoos back

Keep going and don’t fuss it to much you’ll be grand

Wow thank you!

Usually you read that anemones like intense lighting, but Imma turn on acclimation!! I'll report how it goes!

If you mean ro/di, there should be no alk in it.

I honestly believe they do need a strong light.
Mine are in acclimation mode and the anemone is getting fed 3 times a week with small pieces of food and decent flow and seems happy
I’m sure over time it will get its colour and zoos back just a slow process

Good luck and keep us posted.

Well... it fell apart this morning anyways and took my 2 shrimp with it.
