New anemone

[Uncle99]

Can you place him upright and will he stay that way?

 

[Uncle99]

Should I flip it right side up?

Yup
But he needs to stay upright….

You can but it won't do anything. How'd you acclimate it?

Ok let me see if it stays.

I put it Into a small tank and dripped in water for a little over an hour. Once the water was almost 3x the amount of the original water, I put it in.

I have had some roll end over end they ended up fine. I have always noticed by texture of flesh when things start going bad.
But ultimately it’s your choice, if you want, return it if you want

If he doesn’t, something is wrong.
Could be bleached
Could be foot damage
Could be water.

I just got an anemone yesterday evening, and it moved all the way across my tank onto the other side, but it’s sitting upside down. It doesn’t look shrivelled up or anything, and the colour looks normal. Is this typical?

Often they do this if there is too much flow which will also cause them to hide as well as seeking desired location

This is also a possibility.
It’s been 24 hours some have concerns.

I turned off the lower power head and now just posted a pic of where I moved him. Hoping he’s ok!

 

[Uncle99]

Looks good.

See if he sticks, if so, there’s no issue.

 

[jazreef]

Looks good.

Fingers crossed he’s ok. He’s moving around a bit but not following over yet.

If you have to, ok to place between two rocks s9 he does not move around, so as to give him plenty of time to stick.

Looks like a newly acquired nem. Mouth and tentacles look firm. Just new and acclimating.
Keep monitoring and let it be. He may move again.

What kind do you have, I have seen a Condy finally find a home sideways on a return nozzle for months without moving.

needs to be flipped over and maybe pushed towards a rock

Once you touch them after months they might die.

Dp not flip, move or disturb it. It should gain footing and you can resume then normal (moderate) water flow.
