Anemone on glass?

[CoryEaster23]

So I bought a green bubble tip anemone a few days ago and placed it in my tank well it has worked it’s way onto my glass at the top and has been there for the past couple days. Is it happy there or should I try moving it on a rock and see where it goes then? I also can’t tell if it’s doing well because of how it’s placed itself in the glass. If anyone could help out with suggestions that would be great

I my experience trying to move anemone sometime does more harm than good lol. Not only are you stressing them out you can also cause a cut in their foot which is pretty much fatal especially if its not an established nem. I lost a handful because of this lol. If I were you I would wait a few weeks and see if he moves. If he is doing well and you are really unhappy with his placement I would gently move him then.

How would you go about moving him? And I’m thinking that if I do then it’s just gonna go right back to the same spot lol. I’m just concerned cuz I can’t see the whole thing just the side so I can’t see any tentacles just the ones on the side.

My BTA has been stuck in the upperleft corner of the front of the tank for over 6 months now. Truly a PITA

As mentioned let it be. It's getting used to your tank and moving it now will only stress it. Another note watch it carefully and often. They can move quickly when they want to and can easily find it's way into an overflow or a powerhead - then you have a small nightmare on your hands.

Let him decide. Leave him +1

How old is the tank?
What lights do you have?

The nem is fine.
Maybe get a second one.
It might be a show off and not as shy as the first one

A credit card will remove him nicely (go slow). They are simple to remove from glass. Or put some cardboard over him, above tank to block light and he'll move.
