S.Gigantea Question(Video included)

[hansonfam]

Hi there.

We'll we have made it a full 7 days and all seems good. Mouth is closed and he is sticky and eats we'll.. Although he did move about 4 inches yesterday into a rock cave which allows his foot to be totally hid. But he moved himself out of the more "random and turbulent flow" into a less flow zone. He is still getting alot and it is still random i just want to make sure all is still good in regards to flow. I am assuming it knows what it is doing.
And he really likes to keep that one fold bent over...The flow would catch it but he likes to keep it folded over

When you hit about the 1 minute 24 second mark is when you can really see the flow. I forgot i had turned it down to feed the tank and not turned it back up and i have no idea how to edit the video so it is only a minute long instead of 2. :mixed:

Please let me know what you think

Thanks

Okay so now after looking at E.J. Coral's flow i have not got it right yet
Although he had much more yesterday before he moved.

Soooo now what do i do? Do i attempt to ad more flow where he is?

I think the flow looks pretty good. If it moved there on its own from a higher flow area, it is probably the spot that it likes. That is at least as much, or more flow than is on my gigantea.

My flow is how I do it, and not necessarily the right way. I have only had my anemone for around a year, so I am by no means the gold standard! There are many others on the board who have kept gigantea for longer(Phender, Flighty, Rod, Gary, and others)
and you should get there opinions, most definetly. I will say that my anemone has NEVER moved ... but that may have more to do with the fact that it is at the highest point in the tank, on a smooth rock under directly under a 250w 10k halide

Keep in mind they will almost always move to where they like it best, and no too are alike.

the anenome moved because it didn't like the previous spot
