Default supergluing a anemone??
so i bought a bubble tip and figured i would just let it pick its own spot... but at the LFS they said i can just take super glue(the coral glue) and shove it where ever i want.....

has anyone tried this? im thinking it would just rip the flesh off and move anyways...


i havent glued him if you are wondering i thought that was STUPID advice... hes found a comfy place in my tank....

Far under a rock at the back where no one can see him unless you squat and lean to the side...

I would not do it. Anemones need to be able to move if they want to. It's not a sessile coral.

WHAT!!!!! I don't have any anemone's, and I am by far an expert, but my suggestion is not to deal with that LFS anymore. Anemones want to move and find a spot they like, if you glue them, they will then probably stress and die. Very poor advice from that store.

I doubt it would work anyways. I have tried to glue softies without any success. I would definaltly be very careful going to that LFS.

WOW
I can't believe someone would tell you this,or maybe it is believable as i seen a lot of stores giving the wrong advice just to make a sale or malpractice on the owners not giving the right information to their employee.
1st you will never be able to glue an anemone as it has some kind of mucus coating on its body for crazy glue to work it need to be dry.good luck without killing the anemone.
don't try it the eventually the anemone will find its perfect spot and stop roaming your tank,you just hope its in your view of sight.lol.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

That's some of the most absurd advice I have ever heard. It's amazing how many LFS owners/employees know just enough to be dangerous!
