New rock flower help

MaxtheCat · Feb 16, 2021

Hello everyone

I brought home a new rock flower anemone last night kind of late so I thought to put him and his rubble he came with in a suction cup glass holder to keep him safe until the morning. Well, of course he stuck himself really well to the bottom of the glass cup! I just put him upside down next to my other RFA hoping he would get aggravated and drop. What would you do here? He can't really live in that cup, can he? He will get too big and won't he want passing food and nutrients to come to him?

May need to encourage the move a bit. I have had very little issues with gently moving the RFA. Just use a long finger nail and gently peel the foot off. Lacking a long finger nail, just wait till they grow a bit.

That glass looks like it would be tough to try anything else without damaging it.

I did it! There was a little bit of slime left on the bottom where he was, though. Did I hurt him or do they leave some of that when they are moved, do you know?
