Green Bubble tip Anemone.....

[gordogutierrez]

Well I got myself a Green BTA recently...Been in about a week or so now....Opened up nice and beautifully...Feeds very well and has attached itself to a great piece of live rock which adds a lot of great color to it....Did I mention it is in the far back of my 220 tank with about 280 lbs of live rock.....How the hell do I get it to show to the front of the tank lol.....Any Ideas????? Thanks

Problem is, that even if you get to him and move him, and he does not like where you put him, he'll pick up and roam around again.

I dont think moving the rock he is attached to would work anyhow. Is about 70 lbs that I would have to move...Ive read that maybe changing water flow a bit would help some to influence it to move...Hope fully the expected move will be to the front and not the back....

Right on. Good luck.

Ok so I've changed flow in different ways. Changed lighting. Bta looks beautiful from the part of the back glass no one can see. Anyone got any other ideas besides moving live rock.

Wholly crap!! And everytime ou waited a day or 2 for him to settle in, right? If none of these ideas worked, you have got to have one of the pickiest Nems I have ever seen. He'll just have to move by himself. Or he's not liking the water. What are your water parameters?
