Should I be worried?

[WGardiner]

Is it pooping or should I be worried? Its my new LTA and has been in my tank for a week and I know its stressed and a little light in color should be green with purple tips. It has been eating but hasn't attached yet.

Thanks,
Will

If it hasn't attached yet, then yes, it's something to worry about. How deep is your sandbed? If it's too deep it might not be able to attach.

My sandbed is between 2-4" depending on flow. I've tried everything I can think of to get it to attach and still looking for ideas. It looks like part of the foot is holding on to the glass in the back of the tank where it finally blow to after my last atempt to get it settled. I've been keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get caught in a powerhead or anything.

Sometimes they won't attach unless their foot can stick to the bottom of the tank, so if you haven't already tried then try digging a hole for it in a place where the sand will almost cover up the entire column but the anemone's foot can still stick to the bottom.

I've tried that but everytime I go to put sand back around the column the anemone gets pushed out of the hole, do you have a tip to cover the column?
