surfy Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 They usually never stay in one spot. They might for a while but they usually move as they grow or as conditions change, waterflow, lighting, food, etc. Try feeding it every few days and see if that helps it stay put. It probably won't stay on the rock you want it to. The only safe way to relocate it is to wait until it detatches from a rock and then move it to the place you want it. I would just let it go where it wants to. Link to comment
kato Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 ok thnx for the help so my next question would be is it reef safe i have been getting mixed views on the anenome and the peppermint. i just wana find out iff these guys are realy reef safe Link to comment
surfy Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Well my friend has one in his reef so I would have to say yes it is reef safe. All anemones will sting other corals if it comes into contact with them. Condy's are known to move a little more than other anemones. Link to comment
kato Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 when u say sting does that mean that it can hurt/kill or just sting?? thnx Link to comment
surfy Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 The sting can hurt and possibly kill a coral, depending on the coral and the severity of the sting. Thats why most people don't recomend keeping a anemone in a small tank. I have a BTA in my nano so when it starts to move a little I usually move some corals away from it. My BTA has stayed pretty much in one spot for about 4 months now. Link to comment
offsprg01 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 i wouldn't add any corals until you anenome has stopped moving. if you provide it with enough light circulation food and goor water quality then it should find it's self a happy little corner of the tank and chill out there. other wise you 'll have to keepo moving you coral around.
