Hello all. I'm new to the saltwater hobby. I started my 1st reef tank 4-5 months ago. Yesterday I added my first inhabitants: a mated pair of orange skunk clownfish, a sebae purple tip they're hosting, and a peppermint shrimp. I'm very worried about the sebae. I'm afraid his foot was damaged in transit maybe. He was floating around I got him in a corner though he's now safe from the current he may not be getting the light he needs. I'm using a biocube 32 and was told my lights would be strong enough but now that he can't plant a foot I'm wondering what the best way to secure him is? Any help is appreciated!

Put him in an acclimation box near the top of the tank. Don't crank up the lights too much. Just let him settle in a protected low flow environment.

Also, keep a close eye on the anemone. A damaged foot can often kill it, and a dead anemone can easily foul the entire tank. If it starts rotting away, discard the anemone right away.
