Problem with condy anemone?

[shae conaway]

Hello all. I have a condy nem i got from petco. Seems to be perfectly healthy. Eats tentacles are inflated. Problem is he hasn't attached to anything. Stays on the sand bed. My clown keeps moving sand around the condy. Tank parameters are fine. Running 4 bulb t5 29g tank. Just not sure what to do. Ive searched and searched and haven't found any closure to what i need to do.

Welcome to reef2reef !!!!
Any pics of the foot ?
Petco live stock is risky

I dont have any of it. But the foot isn't torn or anything its red. This is the only pic i have

How long have you had it ?
It looks bleached to me

Only had it a couple weeks. Its tentacles have darkened since that pic. It has brownish black coloration now

By staying on the sand do you mean it's stays in the same spot on the sand bed or does it just float/roll around from place to place? If it's staying in one place then it's doing so by choice. They are very mobile so it could change it's mind at any point and move somewhere else.

Yeah it stays in the same spot. The clown will push it around every now and then

Since it's not a natural host for clownfish it may not appreciate the attention its getting :)

Right lol my goby just went ham on a rear corner like 6 inches from where it resides so i gently put him in the hole lol. Maybe he'll stick to the glass? He's still pretty sticky. If he dont like it there im just gonna let it do its thing.
