New Anemone Owner Question

[Alanna102499]

Hi All,
This little fella came in today and I place it here on the top rock in a crevasse, seems like the flow is good a little hard at one stretch through cycle but hasn’t moved since I put him there at 11AM est and ate a nice little chunk of shrimp already. All good? (Sorry just paranoid after yesterday’s R2R community question)

Seems fine to me.

Looks good and will move if it doesn’t like the area. Also it isn’t good to feed nems until they are completely settled

Oops on the feeding... Thank you...
I just didn’t know if it should be more open... it’s kind of “inside” itself... (if you know what I mean) I figured it was nice spot with a hole right below for its foot... like you said it will move if it’s not happy right it didn’t look stuck it sways back and forth in the current.

Looks good, and give it a few days to get settled in and everything

I haven't been doing this long just a couple years more than 5 decades(started with dwarf seahores in 1968) and I would try and feed a new anemone and see if it would eat. I just wouldn't overfeed it in the begin.

Wow! 50 years, Thanks for sharing!
It ate the piece of shrimp. Hasn’t spit it up yet either, just lowered the lights to lunar and will see if it moves. If not I guess it’s happy. Doesn’t look distressed and I’m sure it could roll out of the crevasse if it wanted to.

Looks good. That's a nice spot if it stays.

Looks good. I love those little rainbows
