Annemone help
 
So I got a gtba last night and put it in my tank and turned off all power heads for the night but not the annemone is moving behind all Of my live rock how do I get it to come back out and get it to stay out in the front or atleast help it want to be out front

Turn your flow back on he's going to move to wherever he I happy just watch he doesn't get chopped up. If once the flow is back on for a bit and he hasn't moved point a powerhead on him to persuade him to move . They have a mind of there own and will do what ever they please. Watch other corals while the nem travels as a lot of corals are sensitive to there burn.

Thanks.. Do they prefer low or no flow on them?... When I first put him in I put him where I wanted him but I guess it was to close to my bubble coral and it tried to attack the gtba so I moved it before I went to bed to a new spot and now it's n the back I hope he moves out front again

My best advice for you is don't touch it as hard as it is not too you will end up causing more damage or stress to the anemone. They very for flow I have some in full flow others like lesser flow. What works tho is if you have a rock with a hole in it they like the feeling of there foot being protected.

How long should I point the power head towards the area where it is?

Kgrizzle 11-25-2012 04:15 PM

When I got it it was on a rock

I wouldn't point the powerhead at it yet, turn the flow back on it that tank that you previously stated I had shut off of he doesn't move in a week then try pointing a powerhead at him.

Oh hahah ok I had the on him for a bit just set everything back so well see... I was able to move one rock with out affecting the structure and put a big mirror behind the tank so now I can see it kinda on the mirror so I'll just leter go and see what happens... I mean aslong as it doesn't get sucked up like my first one or melt away like the last one I'll be happy hahah...3rd times a charm hopefully

Since I got mine and Apparantly tried my best to kill it unknowingly it has moved twice and is currently on the bottom if my tank between 2 rocks and appears to be very happy there tough to see though but not moving him cause it seems happy there with full expansion when awake
