I purchased a long tentacle anemone yesterday at about 5 p.m. my time. I spent 2 hours acclimating him to the tank. My salinity is lower than the lfs, his is 23, my tank is low, so it is 22. his tank is 78, my tank is 79.5.
After acclimating him to the tank, I stuck him on a piece of rock in moderate curent, just enough to see his tentacle sway. He did not attach himself to the rock. He was blown off the rock one time last night before I went to bed. He was blown off the rock this morning when I woke up. I replaced him on the rock this last night, and just relocated him all together this morning. He is still not attached to anything, but is bloomed out. Should I be concerned he is not attached yet? it has ben 19 hours since he has been in my tank. His pedestal blows up like he is trying to find something. Also, should I be concerned that he fell off of some rocks, and bounced down untill he got to bottom? would this cause abrasions or anything? Are they pretty tough about bouncing around?
