Hey everyone! Im a huge fan of the rock flower anemones and curious how everyone keeps them in their tank!
I would like them to stay somewhat together and not just all over my tank laying on corals. I've tried to put them in a QT box with the rock i want to latch them to, then wait for them to latch only to have them come undone a day after i put them in my display.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get them to stay together in your tank thank doesn't make the display artificial ("like Tupperware/strainer sitting 6ins off the sand bed")?
Would love to see photos of ideas or what everyone is doing..Thanks!!!
 
Are you putting them in the sand? If so, and your bed is deep enough, I've put mine in a PVC cap before and they usually stay inside of it. Bury the cap under the sand and you're good.

I've also had two of mine stay in the same spot for a few weeks, then take off a good 12" away.. just like BTA's, not a ton you can do if they decide they want to leave.
 
Do you have room to really isolate them in your tank, on a rock, on the sand bed?

i like the pvc idea, and just keep top flush with the sand bed?
 
If it's not happy where they are they'll move. The PVC cap is not a sure thing, I've had some leave the cap as well.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
