sanhas Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I've bought a carpet anemone recently and observed it to move around. Is there a trick to make the anemone stick to rock. Where does it normally like to be in the tank? Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiggie Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It will find a spot where it's happy and it will stay there. It moves coz it's not happy with its current location due to lights , flow etc etc. Quote Stairway to Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member digibee Posted September 2, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted September 2, 2014 Be careful, unless your wavemaker is wrapped with sponge; you never know when your anemone decides to move. It happened to me; they can move from time to time; since we place corals and rescape now and then; Hence the spot that they are happy with could become unhappy due to the different/change of water flow etc... We can never be 100% sure. Quote () Happy will do ... (o_o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member iskay Posted September 2, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted September 2, 2014 Has foot, will travel. No sure fire way to stop them from moving. They will move until they find a comfy spot. Even then, it'll move again if no longer comfy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.

Kiong77 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 My RTBA lik to hide their feet away from light or sight. If like them to be at a position, I would suggest that there's a small cave or opening at the position that they can hide their feet and exposing their tentacles only.

andrewttw Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 My anemone kept moving until it found a pretty sheltered cave in between some rocks. Sheltered from wave maker land return pump flow but still access to light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcell Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 It's best not to keep, if too much movement. It's sting your other corals if you don't move it out the way. The other way is that you target feed It once it settle down to prevent it from moving other place. 185 Gallons - 5ft tank since nov 2013 Quote When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Seah Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 It's very hard to keep as the wave maker keeps moving around plus it likes to travel depending on light conditions aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
