My first anemone... questions.

[Joshua Agostoni]

Yes they can grow out of control

So I might have to remove some if need be no problem.

If the tips were out then your anemone sounds fine to me. Just watch to make sure it doesn’t float off and give it plenty of substrate to move around and settle into.

Right now it looks like it's digging into the substrate he's sitting on his foot and there is sand that it has pushed up around the base so it looks like he is digging in to attach to the glass.

Removal can be difficult unless your willing to give up the rock it attaches to

Haha god that’s awesome
Was he attached to the glass at the lfs?

 

[Joshua Agostoni]

Or I can just take it off the rock I'm sure that's possible i.mean if I tick It off enough I'm sure it will let go

When I got him yesterday no but two weeks ago yes

That is great! Let him be and he will be happy. I was never able to get me Long Tentacle to attach. No matter how hard I tried. My BTA’s are doing great though!

-Zack, who will never own another LTA

 

[Joshua Agostoni]

Yeah I guess long tipped anemones don't like attaching to rock they like being in substrate so.

I'm hoping he just stay upright so i can get my clowns to host.. I bought him so my clowns didn't have to sleep on the sand anymore.

 

[Joshua Agostoni]

I'm gonna give him 2 weeks to get his bearings before I try and get the clowns to host.

I 've had luck getting them to latch on...at least temporarily...where I kind of wanted by taking small chunks of my lr and making a little barrier to keep him in the area

I placed him on the rocks and kinda surrounded him in over night he got moody and moved so since he seems to like where he is now im gonna leave him and I work at 9 so once the lights go out he'll have from 2am till 9pm till I get home a check on him

 

[deeznutz1878812]

Worked for this guy the other day

Question about lighting.. My lighting schedule is... it off until 7pm then at 1230am it switches to luner lights until 2am is that enough normal light?

Well mine would go between the sand and rock but your right these are not rock dwelling anemones that’s more the rbta style. I’ve learned that if your anemone will cling to the rock first it won’t blow away when it moves itself to the sand bed

 

[Joshua Agostoni]

Small update... so far I checked on him this morning and he hasn't moved so well check again tonight and see how it's doing.

 

[Joshua Agostoni]

Well this is my update for tonight I'm kinda concerned about this update though.. his mouth is open and I noticed a couple testicles flattened.
