new anemone Question

[Xavier613]

How can i get this anemone to not float around the tank and pick a spot or atleast attach to something and move around....

Did all my homework on em before i got him but forgot that one minor detail... forgot how light and floaty they were lol...

tank is a 29gal with a 150w hqi light on it.... i turned off my powerheads(which are covered) and he still just drifts along... i dont want to wedge it in a rock or anything if it will hurt it but right now i have it in an enclosed area with a net covering the top so it cant really float away... should i jsut leave the pwoerheads off and hope it attaches or is there a trick to it...?

Have you tried holding it next to a rock for a few minutes? With laytex gloves..gently get ahold of the anemone and put it on the rocks.(preferably a rock that has a crevice or a hole)..without applying any pressure .. hold it there for a few seconds with your hand..if healthy the bta should attach to the rock.

This is a bta right?

About 5 minutes after i posted the thread, i looked from the side of the tank to see if it attached to the rock yet and it did... I took the net off and now its spreading out nicely. hopefully it stays there... it looks quite happy. The anem is quite green with purple tips that are bubbling up already
