Used tank

[jamesM07]

I have been given a full set up from a family member who had to get rid of the tank as they are demolishing their house , the anemone was sitting proud on top of the rock when I bought it and during the moving process it became detached and seems to now be hiding towards the back ? Is this normal is there any way to bring it back to the top ?

Yes, this is normal. Anemones have a foot which helps them move. Nothing much you can do except hope that it feels comfortable moving up top.

Welcome to REEF2REEF! Also this is normal for anemones, keep an eye on it but not uncommon for them to be annoyed after a tank move. It should eventually work its way back up to where it wants to be

Wcome to the Boards! I'm really glad you reached out. If you have no experience, there are some basic 'how to' threads on the site. That being said, I don't know where they are. But I'll try to find them. You've got some learning to do!!!!

Hello and Welcome to R2R! The anemone will move to where it feels happy. It was not happy with the move as conditions changed

Likely due to a change in environment, water flow and lighting. Assure water flow is moderate and do allow anemone to find a spot and set its foot (base) before increasing flow
