anemone help

[nick96ss]

i bought my anemone and clowns the same day. about 2 weeks ago, well my anemone found a rock where he wants to be , it's not where i want him to be
he locked himself to a bottom rock in the back side of my tank .
is there a way of moving him off the rock safely , i don't want to move the rock , that would mean rearranging the entire tank .
my clowns are having a ball in there. he is eating fine he looks great ,should i just leave him there ?

from experience.. my rbta was all the way in the back of my tank.. i rearranged the rocks.. and guess what!!! it moved back again.. anemones move until they find the right spot.. dont worry he will move IF he is not happy there..

honestly.. it is not really where you want the anemone to be , it is more where the anemone wants to be... mine moved for a month...

should i just leave him there ?

Yes. It will probably move again if you force it to move.

 

[nick96ss]

i really don't want to disturb it . i hope he moves again so i don't have to hear my 3 year old that nemo and his dad are stuck in the back of the tank anymore .....lol

If you want it to move, aim a powerhead in it's direction.

 

[nick96ss]

i'll try the powerhead

Or press an icecube against it.

Just let it be, pestering the anemone to move is probably just going to cause it to go through needless stress. If you get it to move now, who's to say it's not just gonna move even closer to the back of the tank? If you can see it now and it's happy don't bother it to move.

Like Javier said, its where the anemone wants to be not where you want it to be.

as nano sayed, all your going to do it stress it out, it will eventually settle where it wants to be, and then might decide to move again and find another place. they will settle down where they are happy

why dont you just turn the tank around if the anemone is in the back and you want it in the front :duh::lol2:

 

[nick96ss]
