Rose bulb Anemone questions

[weap0n_X]

I am getting a Rose bulb anemone in on Friday. I have a few questions about it. What should I feed it? How should I feed it? Where should I place it in the aquarium?


Thanks

It will go where it wants to go on its own, so i guess put it where you hope it'll stay and see if it likes it there.

Cover your powerheads and intakes. You should feed it meaty foods like silversides, mysis shrimp, krill and raw shrimp, and pieces should be no bigger than it's mouth. You should research a little more before you get one.

Find a piece of Live Rock that has a hole in it big enough for the nems foot and base to go into. Golf ball sized hole at least 3 inches deep. Hole size depends on the size of the nem of course. Place the rock so that it gets light to med flow so that the nems tenticles gently/slowly move in the current. Place it low in the tank until the nem gets used to ur mh lights or use sheets of screen to cover the tank over the nem and gradually remove a sheet every couple of days until it gets used to the light. U might get lucky and pick a spot using the above guidelines that the nem will stay in....It worked for my 3 bta's.

I agree with everyone else, they go where they want. My first one travelled the tank for a week before staying put, it has not moved in a year besides when it goes into the rock work to split. I feed mine chopped pieces of squid (from the chinese market) for the larger ones, and small pieces of squid and mysis to the smaller ones. I used to feed silversides but it is cheaper to feed mysis and fresh squid.

Good luck and enjoy!
