Anemone question?

[Chad]

Yeah, it will probably wander around a bit until it finds a place it is happy with.. Just leave it be but keep an eye on it if you find him moving close to power heads etc, then you might need to insure your intakes are covered in some foam.

Normal anemone behavior for sure, especialy when just recently introduced to the tank.

i agree, BTA's will wander, especially when new to the tank. are you feeding him? what and how often?

that is probably why, i feed either krill, silversides or PE mysis twice a week most can be found at any LFS. use a pair of tongs ( i hand feed ) and just touch it to a tentacle, he should pull it in and put it in his mouth on his own. feed the tank first to keep shrimp and other scavengers from try to steal the food.

PS; start with a little piece ( 1/2" - 3/8" ) and as he grows you can give bigger pieces.
