Anemones with Corals

[damsels]

Hi brothers,

Just wondering whether it is true that an anemone will 100% not moved around once it has settled with a position in the tank? If not, then how can we ensure that they wont start moving and sting all the corals around it. We cant simply sit in front of the tank every hour

Is there any good tactics?

Anemones will move, even after staying put in a position for many months.

I don't think there're much things that u can do to stop it moving other than to provide adequate lighting and good water conditions.

U can move the corals thou...

there are alots of good tactics. one, once it stay at the spot keep feeding it ever day. two use a glass, wait till the anemone grip hard on to the glass then put it to where you wan it to be with the glass. three buy a sand bed anemone , the sand bed anemone is usually very lazy to move around once he is in the sand. all three are not 100% but the third one has a higher chance of doing so

It will not move much in a matured aquarium with proper lightings n currents.

My anemone started moving when I changed timing and combination of my lightings.Also moved when I stopped feeding it for a few days.It will stay put if you don't change these two factors often.

Hi,

Just curious, what type of clown will associate with sandbed anemone?

[Guinness]

Most, especially those captive bred ones will if there is no other choice. But when a bigger more shiok anemone is available for them to rub their bums against..... there they go. Fickle little groupies they are!
