Nomad anemone

TXMike · 05/03/2007, 09:54 PM

So I got this little anemone at the local LFS and introduced him to my 55gal. (Lighting is Aqualight Double, 4x65W florescent) Initially I placed him high in the tank, and he stay attached for about two days. Then he started wandering around the tank...mostly low and sometimes even under the lowest rock. Several attempts to place him have proven unsuccessful, however, he continues to live and eat. Any help?

It will move around until it finds a place it likes. There's really nothing you can do about it. It will seek the right conditions of light and current until it finds it.
What kind of anemone? That light is probably insufficient.

I agree... i believe that lighting setup is insufficient. If you can i would return it to your LFS until you can get a T5 setup or even better an MH setup

Probably looking for a place that doesn't have much flow as they tend to like low to medium flow.
