Does my LTA look good???! :)

It looks pretty healthy but I think it needs to be a little deeper into the sand. How deep is your sand bed?
 
Where the anemone is it looks like 4 or 3 in. Ive had it about 5 days now. It was attched. Then it unattched, now I think its trying to reattched! :)
 
Seems like alot of people say the move alot but mine hasn't moved since the day I put him in the tank. I guess I got lucky. The guy at the store said find a rock on the bottom of your aquarium that somewhat has a ledge. Then dig out underneath it to the glass place his foot to the glass then cover him up with sand until all you can see is the tips of his tentacles. Then just leave him alone don't mess with him for at least a couple of days. I did this with mine and gave him a little flow from the power head and he has never moved. Now getting my clowns to pair up that is a totally different story.
 
I think that just keeping posting new threads on your nem is not going to help you or get the answer you want.
My best advice is give answers to the questions asked already on your other posts to keep this simple and get straight advice.
Honestly, your tank was too new and small for this nem, now your kinda chasing your tail to correct or force things to be doable or workable.
I don't mean to sound mean, but just telling you what is up from what I've read on each of your posts.
If it was me, I'd return that nem for credit, let it go to a better suited tank, and prepare a better tank for nems, or go a different route(there are lots of great alternatives) and my best advice is don't rush it or force it.

There are plenty of people on this site that have more than adequate tank setup's that can handle the nem properly, perhaps chalking it up as a learning experience and passing it on to someone better suited to take care of it would be the best course of action. Better to correct the mistake now than to struggle to keep it alive and feel disappointed when it doesn't. Don't worry, stick around long enough and you'll figure out which members post criticism to help you out, and which ones do it to just make themselves feel like a bigger person. Luckily for you none of the latter have posted anything in your threads so far...

Well see I already ask if anyone wanted it no relpy I live in MS.
 
You might have luck getting credit at Petco, just explain that the animal may be suffering in a new tank, and you just didn't realize what was needed when you bought it.
They may give you some credit.
Just change your plan a bit.
Frogspawn or other euphyllia would better suit you at this time.
 
IMO frogspawn is way less aggressive than any nem, and it is a type of euphyllia, hammer is another, torch...
 
If you're looking for a host for clowns, and since your tank is still quite new, I'd recommend looking into corals like hairy mushrooms. They're much easier to take care of, and they can be suitable hosts for clowns...my clowns currently use purple mushrooms as their host, and my bf's clowns used hairy mushrooms as a host until he bought a RBTA. If that's not to your liking, any euphyllia would also work (hammer, torch, frogspawn).....IMO, they're not that aggressive. They just like a lot of flow and good water quality. Good luck, and I hope you find someone that's willing to help you our with your nem!
 
euphyllia-like low flow not high- and they are only aggressive to corals place too close to them. I believe frogspawn to be the most forgiving and least aggressive of the euphyllias- and all euphs are less aggressive than anemones.
