Malu anemone trouble

[miamifan112]

How do you help an anemone attach itself?

 

[cphelps80]

Turn off any powerheads and anything with a flow (except filter!) and it should attach within thirty minutes. when it looks attahed turn on the powerheads etc one at a time slowly increasing the flow of the tank. I did this with mine and it worked a treat.

here it is

here it is

The anemone has still not shown me that it is trying to attach itself to anything at all. turning power heads off in the tank, sitting in a bucket with rocks , just chilling or in a 20 gallon container with a small powerhead and about 15 lb of LR rubbble. But the anemone still seems to be healthy as far as closing and opening and stuff . Just comparing its actions to a sebae i had at one time . would like to help this guy attach itself to a rock. I have a 75g reef w / 324 w of t5 HO on 8 hrs a day and 8 lunar Led on 5hrs after that . About 77 to 79 deg now too. Moderate water flow

It won't attach to a rock or rubble without a sand substrate to bury in.

If you put it in a tub it only needs about 3/4"- 1" of sand.
