[marinefishys]

Hi recently bought a carpet anemone and during the night it moved n positioned itself to the front ov the tank so all i can see is his big white foot!!! I was told to put a powerhead infront ov it to try n make it move but its still holding strong n its been under it for 6 hours n it doesnt look like hes gna move stubborn bugger any other tips on how i could try n move it hes a pic thank you )

Nice color on that one. I can definitely see why you'd want it to move. Even if you're successful, there's no guarantee it won't go somewhere else you don't want it. Despite apparently not having a brain, they have amind of their own!

You might try aiming the powerhead at the foot instead of the crown. They seem to protect their feet by hding the foot in the sand or in a rock, so I guess you're making it uncomfortable and making it want to move. (Mine keeps its foot in the sand.)

I don't know if its the same however I moved my BTA by gently tickling its foot. Eventually it lifted enough and then unstuck itself. However like mentioned above it will move to where it feels most comfortable
