is there any way to move an anemone!!!! HELP

[Vince272992]

hi i just got a GBTA and he does not like flow so he positioed himself under a part of my aquascape where there is not flow and you can not see him at all... i tried repostioning the powerheads so that i would hit him and hopefullly he would move and he did but in the wrong direction. So i know there are other ways of moving him but i dont know wht those ways are haha. So if anyone has ever moved an anemone then please tell me how u did it

if you just got it then you should probably give him time to get use to his new home, just like when you add a new fish often they hide out until they are comfortable. i remember mine doing the same thing when i put it in. it went to the underside of the rocks for a while. but after a couple days it started moving around the rocks until it found a place it liked.

like you i also moved it to be out in the open when i first got it cause i didnt want it to hide, but its a futile effort since they can move whenever they want lol, best to just let it do its own thing.

ok then hopefully mine will end up like yours haha

Leave it alone, it will go where it wants to. This probably means hiding in the rocks at first but it will need to come out for light eventually.

Yes, it's still acclimating. Sometimes it can take weeks before it's ready to come back out.

thanks for the advice!!!
