2 new nems one is behaving help needed

[Charlesbentley]

Hi I have a bubble tip already in my setup. I purchased another bubble tip and its anchored to a rock and seems fine. On the other hand the one i got with it will not foot onto anything and trying to just float around. Managed to put it near some rocks but on the sand bed. Videos attached. Any info would be much appreciated

Can you post another pic with just the whites on?

The white one with blue tips does is not a bta. It looks like sebae anemone. Heteractis malu or Heteractis crispa. Need lights on white to tell for sure which one it is.

Il get a better picture but it now keeps going face down even tho the flow doesnt seem high at all. Like its wanting to face down.

Thing about most any anemone... they go where they want and do what they want when they want and most gravitate towards light.

An yeah 1st might be BTA but second looks like sebae.

Just put it against the rocks again hope it stays there as long as it.stays alive I dont mind where it sits.

 

[Charlesbentley]

It's still in the same place but looks slouched there. Hopefully it will be ok.

This morning the bubbletip is on the glass and the other is under the rock. A couple of my damsels have moved all the sand from under the rocks. So the nem is now sat fully under there. Is this ok for it. Thank you

The nem in the second pic is not a BTA it's a sebae.

Yes I meant I already have a bubble tip. So I then got another bubble tip and a sebae. sorry for the confusion

That's where it has managed to go over night. The sand was already all moved by some fish. Should I just leave the nem to try settle. I think I might stress it trying to move it again. Thanks

Yes leave it alone! Your going to stress it further by trying to play with it.

nems are creatures, they do as they please, go where they want, and just up and die some times. Nothing you can do to prevent this behavior.
