white carpet?

Hopefully the move helped it. I know its bleached a bit, but not as bad as some I have seen I don't think. I just hope I am giving it the correct amount of light and not over or under doing it.

Almost 2 hours and it hasn't moved from the NEW home in the tank. Hopefully it stays there as well. I believe I was lucky I didn't have a floating nem in the tank the way it was before.

For sure, at least it is trying to stick to something. The "tumbleweed" is never usually a good sign.

Home and all seems well. No movement and the slight redness around the mouth is gone.

For what it's worth, it is not unusual for haddonis to have a ring of color around their mouth that is a different color than the rest of the anemone. It is not (in and of itself) a sign of anything bad.

Thanks you for that info!!!

Is there any chance this is a Mertensii? I had it buried as you can see posted above, but now it is back on top of the substrate.

 

[illcssd]

0% chance. That is a Haddoni.

That is fine, but why will it stay on the substrate, but not stay buried?

Give it time. It may be that it is seeking more light. It may be that it is looking for different flow. Who knows? As long as nothing is messing with it (aggressive clowns, etc) let it adapt to your tank and it will settle in on its own schedule. If you keep moving it around, you run the risk of killing it with kindness. Think of all the stress it has gone through in the last month. Give it time...

Easy enough. Thanks

If it's moving, it most likely dosen't like the flow. Try less flow and see what happens.

It has yet to move on its own. I put it in the tank and buried the foot, it came out to sit on top of substrate. I wondered about the spot qnd kinda swished him over closer to the rocks and buried the foot again, now it is sitting on top of the substrate again.

Kore flow, less flow doesnt seem to matter to it at this point. Light could be a issue as l was still screening it. Only one layer so l took it off.

I just need more patience in this endeavor l guess. Ive just had bad luck with nems in the past.

When I got my haddoni about 2 months ago, I dug a hole on the side of the tank with the deepest sand, but it actually moved to the side with the most shallow sand and its foot is under a rock on the bottom of the tank. You can see it underneath all flattened out on the glass.

any update on the nem?

 

[rayn]

Nem is doing well, though due to a leak l have had to drain my tank momentarily. It was mpved with all the rock, some sand, sand water into a different tank. Currently getting the tank set back up and hopefully it will make it through. It has colored up nicely, would hate to loose it now.

 

[Willster]

Sorry for the leak :/ any chance of some pics once the tank is fixed?!

 

[rayn]

Sure thing. The leak was in the bulkheads, for some reason two of them cracked and allowed a leak. Gave me a reason to move the tank to a better spot anyway.

 

[rayn]

Here are a couple pics in the new home. So far it is only under a 4 bulb T5 setup till I get my MH hung tomorrow night.

New sand, 90 some gallons of new water and this new settle right in and planted itself with a closed mouth. Best I think it has looked.

 

[taylor t]

Sure looks like a gig to me.

Nice!!
