Hey all,
like everything in this hobby I am fully aware and am willing to be patient, however, I want to do this right. My lfs had a rose BTA for $60! And seeing as anemones are the reason I got into his hobby I got it. My tank has been up for a year and a half and all parameters are solid and have been for some time. I floated the bag for 20 minutes then slowly acclimated it for about an hour and a half. Set my AI LEDs to "corral acclimation" of 40% reduction. Placed it (one of my clowns took to it right away), now today is the end of day two and it has moved itself under a rock that I don't see how it will be getting light. Now from my tanks side pain I can sort of see it if I use a flashlight and it doesn't look stressed. Mouth is shut and the tentacles look to be at mid extension.
My question: How long do I let it be under that rock cropping without light? I want to avoid forcing it to move but I also don't want it to be "starving" either.
All thoughts are welcome
