Still doing great eating well . It must really like being in the spot that it's in because it has not moved

Great. Keep it up. Still 100% bleached, but give it time. Once you start to see a little brown it will finish browning up quickly - like in less than a month.

Cant wait till it turns color

I'm guessing it will take about four - six months. I know that sounds like a LONG time but when anemones are completely bleached (and in this case dyed) they take a long time to recover. Otherwise you are doing all the right things! It is just a matter of time!

3 weeks down!

waiting is no big deal to me you need patients in this hobby

Here is an Update the H. Crispa has Moved down to the Sand witch I am ok with . On its way down is stressed a few corals out by touching them so I had to move a few things but it's all good now . I think I like it much better were it is now .

It really does look fantastic. I like it's new location as well, seems more of a natural placement for that species.

Is the anemone attached? I wish you the best with that anemone. Such a compromised crispa is always a long shot, but hopefully this one will pull through and thrive for you.

Yes it is attached i let it setaled i turned off all power heads for about 1 hr and it attached to the glass and the rock and i just pushed the sand in around the base and turned the power heads back on

I'm glad to hear it has attached. Remaining attached without moving is a good sign. The next few months will be critical in the long-term survival of the anemone. Staying attached and coloring up are the two best indicators the anemone is going to pull through. I hope it does fine.

What is the Best food to feed an H. Crispa ?

 

[Catchoftheday]

Well The H.Crispa has detached and has moved up on the rock . I don't understand I thought they were sand dwellers oh well will see what happens now .

 

[garygb]

Often crispa attach in the rocks. As far as food, PE mysis or fresh shrimp (for human consumption) would be good. Only feed very small amounts and I wouldn't feed until the anemone has been attached securely for a couple of days in one spot. No need to feed if the anemone isn't attached, it's been my experience that even if they take the food in they won't keep it in very long if they're not attached.

Here is its new spot it has its foot in a hold in the rock . if you look at the pictures from before you can see he has not moved to much from the sand just up onto the rock

 

[garygb]

That's a pretty typical attachment it looks like for a crispa. The important thing is that it stays put. Attaching and then detaching signals the anemone isn't satisfied and can portend problems with the overall health of the anemone. I just hope it stays where it is.
