Sebae keeps detaching

[jallard]

So my sebae was settled for a week or so now it keeps releasing and ending up upside down.... thoughts?

So it sounds like he is not happy where he is. Turn down the flow and help it get to somewhere the sand and rock meet might help. Someone else with more experience of this nem might help.

What kind of sebae?
Have you checked foot for tears?
Where are you placing it, sand or rock?

Malu.... foot looks fine... i tried placing it against a rock

Well Malu will want a decent sand bed to burrow into, maybe sometimes close to rock, but not on rock, medium flow and light

so i got home and turned off my PH and am only corculatimg water via my all in one return pump. I placed the Sebae again with his foot down. How long does it take for it to begin to bury its foot

I've had them set right away before, and I've had a couple times it may have taken a couple hours to see it setting on it's own, so it varies some.
I always try to bury them some and have a couple rocks near to kind of block flow.
If conditions are right and it's healthy and foot is free of damage it should not take too long

How did you make out?

 

[jallard]

I made a little horse shoe shape out of some rocks and dug a deep spot in the sand bed. Kept my Power head off four a couple days...and the sebae seemed happy and didn't move for a few days. I fed it a couple times too and put my PH back on. Last night it moved to the other side of the tank and it seemed to plant itself firmly in the sand...

usually I don't feed them for first couple weeks at least to let them really settle, while it did not stay where you may have placed, at least it's set, so cool.
Post pics when you can

 

[jallard]

this is where it was ....and then where it decided to move to....
