RBTA question

[ddaddy2420]

Just received my RBTA online and when I went to put it in my tank, it flew off my hand and into the back corner. It’s now attached to the back wall. Do I need to try and move it or will it continue to move on it’s own regardless of its location till it has found a happy place??

It will move on its own to find a happy place.

Never remove an anemone you can easily kill it. You put the anemone anywhere in the tank it doesnt matter and then you watch it move around to find its favorite flow and if it's happy with your tank it will find a place and stay there within 24 hours.

Ok thanks, it started roaming almost immediately

The random placement saved you the grief of watching it move from where you would have carefully placed it. Anemones have a mind all their own....think "lizard brain", only more primordial.

Yea it seems to have stopped in the back bottom corner of the tank where I can barely see it.

Slipper buggers huh? You can scrap it off with something similar to a credit card. Then move to a crevice/hole in your rocks. Turn off all water flow. Once it attaches then only turn on the sump pump but leave e in tank powerheads off until you know for sure it’s attached securely.
