-oh i just added him 3 hours ago but still i thought he'd attach to something by now! -he's currently on his side waving around, and he's all stretched out so i don't think he's stressed at all, but i'm tempted to take him and place him in between two rocks like u said..

by the way it appears like he's trying to climb up a piece of rock, can anemones actually climb onto rocks and such? whatever i think i'll leave him be for the night and hopefully he'll be attached to something in the morning

when ive moved mine i just held it in place for a few minutes untill it grabbed on but it wasent just added either.as long as its net floating around im shure it will grab on to something. depending on what powerheads and intakes you have it the tank you might want to cover them with a sponge or something over night so you dont wake up with a anemone stuck in a powerhead

-ok thanx alot for all the replys i'll cover the powerhead and if by tommorow morning he's still not attached i'll hold him in place....by the way i'm pretty sure that condys wouldn't sting me would they?

just askin cuz i know they deal a heavy blow to nearby corals and fish

awesome he's finally under a tall overhanging piece of live rock, finally positioned him self, man there sure nice colors, bright white with pink tips and long tentacles

, it's really too bad that my tomato won't host it that would look really interesting

first problem is that condis are not white so its got some bleaaching going on.
just feed it something meaty every 2-3 days and let it get lots of light and it should turn a tan/brownish colour,as far as you clown hosting in it. i had my clowns and anemone for almost 2 years before they figured it out.
