LTA Digging in.

I know there is no magic number but from LTA keepers experience, how long until anemone settled and dug in?
 
If you have a good sand bed, and place in the right location, in an established balanced tank, w/ a healthy LTA, like 5-10 minutes
 
I've got one in the tank. He hasn't dug in but he is sitting upright on his foot and not laying on his side. He positioned himself that way after being placed on its side after acclimation. He's looks good other than some bleaching. Sitting on about 4 inches or so of oolite in slight flow. I have lights cut way down and juvenile tomato clown is loving on him. We shall see.
 
Well, it's hard to say for sure everyone's situation just by reading a post, but basically a healthy situation does not take that long at all usually, but there are times it can take a little more time for whatever reason.
I've never kept LTA in oolite, so I'm not sure if that is a factor, just be patient, keep trying, post pics if you can
 
You could be right for all I know, I'm just trying to think of what might be keeping it from setting right away.
Occasionally we see some that may have damage to foot at collection, and that may cause issues, but again just a guessing possibilities.
Pics often give us better clues as to what's going on.
Hopefully your next update is a set nem.
