Anemone Issues

reepher315 · 07/01/2014, 04:27 PM

So just to start Ive looked into this topic. Its not urgent but my anemone has stuck itself in a small hole on one of my rocks that have some zoas on it. It was about 5 inches but now it barely opens up fully since it placed itself here. Sometimes it expands and looks like its trying to release but it never happens. Theres no way to get to the foot. Any other suggestions to get this guy to move?

have a nem that pretty much established himself in the back of my dt behind a rock. could only see him in the reflection of the glass. I did coax him out by using a turkey baster and gently aiming it towards the foot, not directly at it but enough that the flow changed. after a lil while he picked up and found a new spot. I may have gotten lucky but it is just a suggestion. if you try it, be careful not to blast it.

Yea ive changed the direction of my powerheads in hopes to get it uncomfortable but no luck. Im thinking about covering it with a well placed rock (not ontop of it like 2" above) maybe it will move it deprived of light.

Ice his foot.

honestly, bubble tips are notorious for moving around. Give it time, he'll move.
