Seabae anemone

[Pmauro55]

I’ve had my Seabae anemone for about four days, but it hasn’t settled down anywhere do I just let it drift till it finds its own spot or do I try to help it? it looks healthy. It takes food when I feed it. I just don’t know how to make it. Happy to settle down.

He should stick.
Lower flow?
Can you carefully place him between to rocks?
That’s normal for them

When you say drift do you mean it is walking around and wont stay put, or that it is literally drifting around in the water?

I’ve got the power heads off. I’m waiting for him to stick to something. The only flow is from my return pump.

Literally drifting around he stuck to a large clam shell for a day or two now he’s back to wandering around letting the current take him wherever

Is that possible.
He needs to stick.
Floating not a great sign.
Foot should be sticky.

I don't have a sabae, but I have two anemones who don't/didn't want to put their foot down. Can try digging a hole/pit in the sandbed (too the glass), turn off the flow, and place the nem in the hole and wait. Can also do as suggested as above, try and put it gently between two rocks or a rock and the glass.

 

[Pmauro55]

Currently he is between two rocks but he hasn’t attached to anything, do they prefer sand or rock I’ve read both

I think his foot is sticky like I said, he attached himself to a large half shell for a couple of days but now he’s free again

And like I said, he’s eating a mysis shrimp, and I gave him a piece of clam he ate them right up

 

[Uncle99]

Ok, if he’s stuck before, I’d do nothing in that case.
But, he can’t float around the tank, he get damaged that way.

Fine where he is.

I guess all I can do is keep an eye on them for now. If he continues to drift I will dig a little hole and see what we can do to get him to set his foot.

Any change?

 

[Pmauro55]

He has reattached himself to half a shell, I moved the shell to a rock ledge in the hopes he will move to the rock. From what I’ve seen I think he prefers solid surfaces but he is eating and seems to like the light and the flow.

He will settle down and attach to something eventually.
