bodiam Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I picked up a green BTA at my LFS last Saturday for my Solana 34 with Aquatic Life 4 Bulb T5 fixture. I have an MP10 set on reef crest for flow. The anoneme has tucked itself behind the rock next to the false wall just under the dual outlets. It appears healthy but I am concerned it's hiding. Should I worry? Link to comment

Matteo Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 nah just wait and see and watch out for him. They will move if they need to if hes looking healthy then he just likes the spot! Link to comment
Singlefin Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Read up on anemones. +2. It need to find its place. Cover your pumps so it can't get shredded. It's going to move around. Then read some more. How old is your tank? What kind of lights? Pics would help. Good luck. Link to comment

Singlefin Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Once it finds it spot you can feed it or if it's in a spot you want it to stay then feed it there. They have a mind of their own and will go where it wants. You don't have much control over it. If its happy, it should stay put. Link to comment
1fishmonger Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 ^^^ +1 to cover your pumps. Learned that one the hard way a long time ago - had one find its way into an MP10. Game over. Link to comment
bodiam Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 ^^^ +1 to cover your pumps. Learned that one the hard way a long time ago - had one find its way into an MP10. Game over. Thanks for the advice everyone. As I said, it appears healthy and I've read they like to tuck themselves into crevices, but this chap is sort of squeezed down between the rock and the wall. I'll leave him alone and hope he ventures out after a few more days once he's settled into the tank. I'll also dig out the foam cover that came with the MP10. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 do that sooner than later. Link to comment
kush. Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 if you can, keep us updated on how it does. I have the same light fixture but was a little worried it was not enough light for an anemone Link to comment
