:1zhelp:There is zero damage to the foot/pedal column (I've investigated as thoroughly as possible). The tentacles are extremely sticky. It's mouth its closed. It accepts food from a perhaps too attentive clarkii clown. It's a healthy yellow/brown color. It responds to stimulus.
It doesn't wander around the tank. It stays directly in the indentation in the sand where I placed it with a gentle current. It's got excellent lightning that it requires. The only reason I know that it's foot isn't taking hold is that the clarkii sometimes nestles into it and tips it on its side.
I've tried placing a mesh basket over it for awhile because I was concerned the clarkii was disturbing it too much, but it made little difference. In fact, the sabae seems happier since I removed the cover as the Clarkii tends to feed it.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to help him plant his foot? He hasn't been swept away by the current yet (my powerheads have protective coverings). I just don't want him to be become stressed if he ever does end up sailing around the tank.
