Hello-
I bought a Pacific LT Anemone yesterday and I was told that no matter where I place it, it will establish itself where it wants to in the tank.
Yesterday evening I noticed it had made its way into one of the caves (made of Live Rock) so I flipped the rock around that it was on so it was outside of the cave, where I could see it and feed it.
This morning it is back inside the cave where I can't see it or feed it. Does anyone know the behaviors of Anemones? Specifically new to the tank? How long do Anemones usually move around the tank?
Also, will it sting me if I pick it up and move it? I opened the bag it was in and let it slide out of the bag and into my tank so I didn't actually touch it. Do they sting other critters, like my eel? I don't want the Anemone in the cave because that is where my eel likes to hide. My eel seems a little stressed right now with the new crew (Anemone & Clown Fish), so I'd hate for him to loose his comfy cave too :headshake2:
Thanks for the help!
