H. crispa Will Not "Land"

[TexasTim]

My H. Crispa will not stay upright (always ends up disc down, pedal up) even in low flow areas. It will also not stay in one place and put its pedal down, despite the fact I have a clownfish which follows it all over the tank.

Any ideas on how to get it to plant itself?

Use a piece of cut PVC pipe and put the anemone in it.

Crispas can be that way in the beginning. Watch for the inflate/deflate cycle, if this happens you most likely have a sick animal. If the anemone remains inflated but doesn't plant anywhere, it is most likely still acclimating. Once attached, a healthy crispa rarely travel far.
