Please log in for more thread options It's an old problem I know, just got a lovely light green bubble tip
anemone, but he cause trouble on his first night in the tank.
Currently he is sitting bang in the middle of a bunch of pulse coral
heads, and you can tell the coral is not at all pleased with the
situation. I like anemones, but have never had much luck with them,
losing them in powerheads previously, currently we have none in this
tank! Fishing him out from amongst the coral would I think do more
damage than any it's suffered already. I just hope he moves on again.
Anybody got any training tips for these things - or do they just go
where they will regardless?

I've had a BTA in a 20gal tank for quite a few years. It's very happy and
healthy but moves every so often. No matter how stable you make things, they
are going to move sooner or later. I think by removing the hermit crabs and
urchin
I had in there helped it to stay in place a bit more. I noticed them crawling on
it
once in a while, and that would make it retract into the rocks. I figured it
would
be less stressful for it. If you want to remove the anemone, keep checking with
a flashlight very early in the morning. This seems to be the time when they
move, and
a lot of times when they are in this process, they are blown up to twice their
size, and
are completely detached so you can easily just lift them from the water. To make
them
move you can try aimimg a powerhead at them, but I've found sometimes this tends
to make them grab on even harder.

They pretty well go where they like the conditions the best in regards
to flow, light food etc etc.....I had a perfect spot for a BTA, yet
that joker would not stay there more than 5 miniots time before it
started ot walk off........It kept on insisting it had to take control
of a spot which had a loarge frilly shroom on it already. Numerous
attempts at placing it other places always resulted init winding up on
the frilly. I had to chisel that frilly out of the rock, and relocate
it, now that BTA is a happy camper and has not moved in well over 9
monoths now......My clown I had in that tank used to host in the
frilly shroom......yet it has still not taken uop with the BTA in all
this time.........it just ignores it like its not there.

Please log in for more thread options I know what ya mean. I have a feather duster that my tomatoe clown resides
in. I have 2 bubble tip anemones in the tank but the 2 clowns I have aren't
the least bit interested in those. Anyone else have a clown stay in a
feather duster?
