new BTA

[Jeremie]

Picked up a BTA and got him in the tank. He decided it was a good idea to climb inside my live rock. I figured it was normal for them to hide a little while they settle in but it's been 8 days and I'm starting to get a little worried he's stuck in there. Is this something I should just wait out or is there a trick I could possibly try to help him along. I don't want to damage his foot and can't think of any way to move him. Not the best picture but you get the idea.

Just leave your anemone alone. If you try and move it, you'll do more harm than good, and you have a good chance of damageing it.

Sometimes the like to move toward the water flow, you you can use a powerhead to create some modest flow over the anemone.

Oh and they move and move and move. My Colorado sunburst seems to move about 2 or 3 months. It just decided to nearly kill my joes rainbow that was doing really well. On the flip side, my RBTA is still in the exact spot I placed him 2 years ago.

He chose the spot and if he likes it he will stay but he can also get through the tiniest of gaps so I woudn`t worry about him being stuck.
