Hi all,
I am the new proud owner of a long tentacle anemone. Yay! I've had this one for a week.
I read lots of posts about these anemones floating around to find their own place (like a lot of anemones). I have tried "placing" it in the sand right at the edge of rock-work in a dozen different places and it won't stay. So i let it float around and it'll end up in a dead spot in the back corner, or under a mass of mushroom leathers, but doesn't grab on.
My tanks is 5x2x2, so the sand-bed PAR is only around 90 and the highest rock-work is around 300. Could it be that it needs more light than the bottom of the tank has? Will a long tentacle grab on to rock-work as opposed to sand?
Any other tips/thoughts?
Thanks!
