All my rfa's attached within 30 min or so. I fill the end cap with tank water just deep enough to cover the nem so that its inclined to flatten down away from the air, not sure if this helps or not. I set it outside the tank and every 20 min or so give it a little swirl or nudge with a plastic pipette to see if its attached. Once it does, I'll set it on top on the sand for a few hrs or overnight. Once I feel like its settled completely, I bury the end cap, carefully keeping the sand out. Then over the course of a week, I'll slowly add sand into the end cap, each time adding just a bit and letting the nem re-settle before adding more. Smaller the nem, slower I go with the sand. I've never had a nem walk from an end cap. Credit goes to Ron Reefman for the PVC end cap method.
I would think they should be fine as long as they don't get too hot or cold.
With the way Ron gets them into an end cap, they should be fine in their own water for 48 hours or so. lol
I did get some 3 days later(thanks Fed-Ex for leaving them at the neighbors who was out of town for 3 days), they ended up just fine. But, I would not suggest that.
Having the same struggles as you my friend.These are my current two that are trying to travel. The one on the sand looked settled in (I dug it a little hole and left the flow off for 30 minutes) but now he’s going again. The one on the rock was settled all day yesterday, but once the lights went off, started trying to float away. I got him settled again this morning, but now he looks like he's walking.
Sorry to hear that!Having the same struggles as you my friend.
I really like rock flower anemones .... unfortunately so does my emperor angel. I have to add bigger ones as the babies just get eaten.
I've moved most of mine RFA to the dedicated tank. But I still have a few RFA and maxi-mini anemones in the DT. I wasn't even thinking about them when I bought a full size file fish kind of on impulse. I've had some aiptasia issues recently but I think I have them under control. But the file fish was good looking and priced right. I never even considered the other anemones.
The file fish has been in the DT now for a week and a half and seems to be doing well. It eats when I feed and it has not toutched the RFAs or the maxi-mini nems. Maybe I'm just being lucky so far?
