Need help, on how to get bubble tip nem to move!

bjmartie · Jan 5, 2023

So I get this new pink and green bubble tip. Was super excited. I already have a green bubble tip and we placed him in the tank and he NEVER moved! Got this pink one and he picked the worst spot! He is in the sand bed in the back of the tank and we can't even see him!

Does anyone have any ideas or advice on how to get him to move?

Pics may help. You can aim powerhead towards anemone and after 15 min it will get loose to relocate then, move it to desirable location but be careful that it should not get any injury in this

Well don't really want to move him by hand. If I do that, I got to take a lot of rock work out to get to him. And then, he will probably just move again if I put him back in the spot I first put him. He obviously likes the spit he is in now, just looking to make it less desirable.

Kind of moving by hand, but if you relocate to front of tank in similar light/flow, it might stay. This is an easy way to do it without moving rock or anything.

Safe and Easy DIY way to remove Nems

Due to seeing numerous post recently about how to remove anemones and shrooms without hurting them or destroying rock work. I felt like this was in order. First off, a little back story. Years ago, when I lived in Florida and collected aquatic life on a regular basis, we always had issues with...
