LTA not attaching

[Embowe]

I just bought a new LTA yesterday..VERY slight bleaching on the tips, it seems to be a shade of green which is really popping under my antics....and he isnt attaching to anything. I have him on the sandbed with moderate flow passing over him...to keep him from blowing around I put a plastic container over him with holes/slots cut in it...My last LTA I had attached to the bottom of the tank almost right away....should I just take the plastic container off and let him blow all around the tank or what?

Its been 3 days and still no attaching...all my water params are in check (I check them every other day) ...he just wont attach to anything...Im starting to get worried

I'd try to foot him in a hole or something.

I finger #$%ed mine into a hole with some mild force and he finally stayed put. Keep the flow up though otherwise he'll jsut move again
