Added a second RFA last night. I have one other, on a small rock and was hoping they’d snuggle up next to each other or at least share this lovely little rock.
I acclimated on a hang on container, then transferred the rock to container, and the new anemone grabbed on. I noticed through the evening it moved a bit lower on the rock towards sand bed.
Over night it moved underneath the rock I guess because I didn’t see it this morning. I put in my handy dandy grabber to rotate the rock and I couldn’t move the rock. Was like it was glued to the sand bed. Looked under the rock and gave a confirming gently tug and saw it’s foot still attached to the rock.
Should I just leave it? I can’t imagine it did this to escape too intense of lighting, as I just had my late night blues on when I put it in the tank, should have been fairly low power at that time, but I suppose it could be? Any other reason these things decide to live under a rock buried under enough sand to not allow the rock to be lifted up?
I didn’t pull very hard on the rock, figured it intentionally did this so I’d leave it for now.
What’s recommended here, leave it or retrieve it? Is this normal behavior?
Somewhat unrelated picture here but I pulled my old camera out for the first time last night and love this pic I got, of my happy one.
