Best place for anemone
 

So I just got a bubble anemone and was told to take it off the love rock its on by bubbing around the base of the anemone and just place it in my tank and it will stick somewhere.

Is this that good of an idea? I figure that it might hit my bubble coral, hammer coral, ancans or my chili.

Is there a better way to place it? And what kind of flow does it need? I did a slow 2 hour acclimation on it and its sitting on the original rock

Also how long does it take for a clown to feel comfortable enough to host

Chances are, where ever you put it, it'll move. nems have a tendency to roam until they find a spot they like.

As far as how long it will take the clown to host with the nem, I have
a gbta in my tank and my clown still prefers to host the return spout over the nem and they have been together in the tank for over 6 months and the nem has split twice.

So it will detach it self and re attach itself else where eh?... That's pretty crazy... Will it possibly get stung by other corals?... Not sure of the type I got... I would say its a pink bta? Or is the colour of the whole thing not the tips?

Yes it can get stung by other corals and can also sting other corals.

It sounds like you're pretty new so here is some excellent and free literature on keeping anemones. http://www.wifeofnerd.com/images/AnemoneFAQ.pdf

Ya am pretty new still thanks for the read...I just moved him into a place with more flow... I just hope he doesn't move around to much and kill or get killed by other corals...and again sorry... is it a bubble tip? And what colour?( green or pink)? And should he be fat tenticled like that?

The biggest threat is that it detach and get cought into a pump.

I am not sure they like high flow.

Usually lower flow and moderate light. It will find its own home. Don't worry about him being stung, unlike corals he can move if he gets stung.

Of course I'm just kidding around here but..... Nems is evil!.... Best place for it is in the fresh water tank in your bathroom:twised:.....nems seem to place their need for security above every thing else(light and the ability to catch food)....they really love to find a small hole or crevasse to wedge their foot into and expand around that...if you can find a spot that meets all its requirements, you can up the chances of it staying where you want it...... If the nem is new I wouldn't try removing it from the rock until after its settled in....provided it stays where it is for that long.....

So you think that I should take him off the current live rock he's on and just sit him on the sad bed? Sorry if I got what ur saying wrong. I like him sitting on the rock he's on
