attaching an anemone

[Falcn]

So I am now the proud owner of a bubble anemone.
Trouble is it doesn't appear to be able to hold onto any of the rocks, even when I place the base plate in a good deep cave/crevice. Is it worth turning off the tunze streams until it gets a grip?

How do you guys deal with this sort of situation?

if the anenome is healthy it will find a spot it likes and attach. it should'nt take long at all

i have a rose bubble, and he came on a rock, so.......

just be careful he doesn't, get sucked up a filter, or something.

i had an aptasia that was in the sand, fishswam by he went up up up into the hungry mouth of my filter. he now lives in my filter

falcn - as pointed out, the anemone will find a suitable spot. They can also wander around, so mind your pump intakes. Usually, once they find a spot they like, they'll stay put. Let us know how it does!

yeah he's found a suitable place - behind the rockwork out of sight ;-/

Now where's that superglue ;-)
