Flow preventing sebae anemone from attaching?

[BlueWorldJeff]

It definitely moved. It's foot is under a new rock

Can I turn on my other power head now that it is attaching?

That's good that it's trying to attach. They like to attach in a cave or sometimes to the bottom of the take under the edge of a rock. Any way to record a little vid so we can see the flow rate?

I'll do a video tomorrow of the movement of the anemone in the flow as well as some Euphyllia to get a good idea of the water movement

It seems to have had good confidence or energy to dig in.
Uh, a video, nice, I look forward to seeing your aquaria.
I have a powerhead sitting pretty low above the sand, so my main concern have been to make sure the anemone didn't wander anywhere near that and get sucked in.
It seems they move at night, but in little steps at a time, unless current is strong enough to make them start drifting.

Did you see any reaction from the Euphyllia after you slowed flow? I would not advice you either way, since I have too little experience with the technical gadgets. I don't know if your flow is forty times stronger than I am used to and all that, and I would hate to give you bad advice so the video is a perfect suggestion.

And I get to look at a video of your tank, and for some reason, I completely love looking at everyone's tanks, aquariums are just such a wonderful hobby.

I won't be able to take a video until Thursday as I leave for work before the lights come on and don't get back until the actinics are on.

Since it moved, it detached from that rock and was just sitting on it's side in the sand. Not sure if flow is too low to get it to move again but I'm just going to leave it for now

Looks like it is probably a bleached Malu and not a crispa. Tough to tell for sure with the blurry pics. They will attach down to the bottom of your tank while crispas will attach up in the rocks. Looks pretty healthy aside from being so bleached. Good luck with it.

So right after I took the picture of it moving and attaching again, I came home from work and it was detached and just sitting on the sand. I left it alone and the next day it was upside down in the sand. I moved it to a rock/sand area and this is what it looks like now. Lights haven't fully come on, but doesn't look good.

Sorry for the blurry picture. Wanted to zoom in on open mouth

Is this the anemone moving? It hasn't settles down. In a couple weeks and has looked pretty bad a couple of times. Is there anything I can do or should I just let it float around and not try to reposition it?
