Hey guys
i bought a long tentacule anemore about 1 month ago. it is doin fine but my problem is it wont settle anywhere i put it...
At first i burried him in the sand (his foot only) and placed him in between 2 rocks kinda so it wouldnt move so much and after couple of days it decided to move somewhere else..
I let it do his thing and he stayed at this new place for 2-3 days and then decided to move again during night and placed himself in the back of my display ( i couldnt see him anymore from the front) i figured " ok maybe theres less flow in the back i'll leave it there" he basicly stayed in the back for 1 week and decided to move again to the front of my tank. when he came back to the front i decided to dig a hole in the sand about 3-4 inch until his foot could touch the glass and put him in the hole thinking he wouldnt move from there this time but no he decided again to undig himself and move around... it's been almost 1 month now and he wont settle anywhere....
what should i do next ? i went back to my LFS and lady told me that if i didnt put him in the sand myself he will never do it by himself. so she told me to retry a few times until he doesnt move but i read on the internet to let them chose where they want to settle.. so im confused what to do next ?
my tank is a 75gal running for 9 months
salinity 1.025
2 power heads on each side of the tank
water temp 26C
any advice would be appreciated
thanks
