Re: now what

I am also a Flathead resident. I don't know if you know our LFS but I have watched them many times with their BTAs. They have a buyer that wants one that is attached to a huge rock so they put a smaller rock on top of part of the anemone and it moves over to the other rock. I have seen them move anemones a lot like this. Sometimes it only takes an hour and sometimes days. I have not done any reading up on this but just know what I have seen. I imagine that if your anemone got himself to where he is then he can probably get himself out too. He looks healthy otherwise, maybe a bit squished.

Re: now what

as long as he's not cut, scraped, smashed, or squished your o.k. they ill engorge themselves to move , so leave him unless hes looking unhappy,, then he may be squished.

Re: now what

you can't put them where YOU want them. they will go where THEY want to go. if you really HAVE to move it, you can use ice to get a RBT to move or let go. i've used a knife, screw driver and have pulled them off LR to move them. then you can use a rubber band to hold them to a rock or just smash the foot between rocks.......if you are worried, don't be. it will be fine and will move if and when it wants to.

Poke him with a stick a few times. He'll move.

I'll second that they go where they want to, and usually if lighting,flow, and food is where they want it, they will eventually find their place.

Re: now what

Sorry I have to comment but not on the RBT, you have a great looking tank from what I can see and the Rock looks fabulous!!!!! Would love to see a whole tank shot. from the looks of your tank he is probably just looking around and will finally settle

Re: now what

Sorry I'm a little late on this, but the advice given before is good. I had a bubble tip split, and it took the clone about a year to find a spot where it was happy. So I guess you just gotta be patient, and let it do it's thing!!! JMO
