New anemone! Does it look ok so far?

Minh, though I generally agree with you that small crispas prefer the sand, they are found in sand and rock in the wild. In fact, having just returned from a couple weeks in Fiji, I didn't see ANY that weren't on rock. (As contrasted with S. haddoni, which I have never seen ANYWHERE but sand).

Sweet shot! Thanks for the input as well. =)

very nice. I stand corrected

I totally disagree, and from experience. I have 3 Heteractis', 2 which are Malu. One of the Malu's have found its ideal location planted towards the top of the rockwork for the last few months. In addition, one of the LFS has had a Malu in their display for the last 3 years, also planted towards the top of the rockwork. The particular anemone, he even had long before bringing into his store. Since when was there a 100%, in any situation?

H. Malu are sand dwelling anemones. I have heard of h. Crispa occasionally planting in rock, but never h. Malu.

My 3 H. malu (one 10 years, one died in a tank crack after 7 years and one 2 years) have always lived in the sand. My previous Crispa which I had for 7 years before I sold it to another reefer have always live in the sand also. Here is a picture of my oldest Malu

Lost mine due to water hardness being way low before I caught it..... mine was all yellow with purple tips even at the end it was still yellow.... it always went to the bottom half rock and half on sand.... guess he was conflicted..... watch your KH.
