African Yellow Anemone care and feeding

[Modemagic]

A few days ago I got an African Yellow Anemone, hopefully that at some point my clowns will call home, but in the mean time its up to me to take care of it. I got some krill for it to eat and it seems to be doing well. Is there a way to keep it from moving around? It doesn't move terribly fast or anything, just always seems to prefer the back of the tank where it isn't viewable.

What you probably have is a H. magnifica (aka ritteri) anemone. They are one of the most demanding of the clownfish host anemones, needing a lot of random flow and strong metal halide lighting. If you don't have much anemone experience, it might be a good idea to return it and something a little easier to take care of like a E. quadricolor (aka BTA, Bubble tip anemone)

It will always be up to you to take care of it. You can't depend on a clownfish to take care of it.

I'm not sure of what you have. There is no such thing as a African Yellow Anemone. A picture would help so that it can be identified and we could give you help on its care and requirements.

Anemones will move where they are most comfortable.
