Hey guys,

I just got my long awaited red haddoni carpet eariler this evening. It was looking good at the lfs and a clown fish was hosting it and another pink haddoni next to it. I got it home and dripped acclimiated it for 2 hours and put it in a small sand hole I dug up close to some rocks. After trying to let it attach with the flow off for 10 mins I turned on the flow and it started to blow around so I turmed off the flow and tried a closer area where this is different flow. I'm worried if it does not attach onto something. Should I dig a bigger hole and just surround it with sand? Thanks
I have a 135g with 3x250w raidiums and will acculimate it to my lights slowly. Just need to know what to do to get it to attach now, the foot looks fine by the way.
 
I just got a Gigantea and I left the flow off for about 45 minutes. I wanted to make sure he really attached before I turned the flow back on. Just an idea.
 
Just leave him in the hole in the sand. They won't attach right away, it took mine a little while too.
 
:( woke up this morning hoping to find it attached, but it was laying flat deflated and in attached. The mouth seemed to be closed so is it just getting use to the water, I just left it hoping not to stress it out anymore. Any tips? When I get home later and it's nit attached, should I try to move it to another spot with different flow? Thanks
