Bubble Tip Anemone

I have got bubble tip anemone First time in my life yesterday. Soon as I introduced into my tank, my anem went to under the live rock and it stayed there. Should I remove anem from the shadow or dose it move by itself? Any idea? Thanks

Leave it alone, they will usually go where they want to...just make sure you dont have any powerheads or intakes to close, they have a habit of getting stuck in them, lost a rose bta just a few weeks ago....

+1 I have a RBTA and its gone around piece of the live rock in a complete circle. Don't try to move it physically, I have heard that if you injure its foot that most likely it will perish.

OK, I will leave it alone. And also what kind of clown goes into rbta. I am thinking to get a gold stripe maroon. is there anything peaceful clown for it?

Maroons can be quite agressive with the anemone. How big is the bubble tip and how big of a maroon are you getting? Percula and oscelaris are pretty good but not always a guarantee that they will host it.

My anem is about 2.5inch foot, not to big one, so I have to get small clown. I heard that maroon is really agressive, too but they are good with rbta.
