Anemone Psychology

I just purchased a long tentacle anemone that promptly went to the back of my tank (I have a 60 gal Hex) where it isn't getting much light and I cant get to it to feed "him". Any suggestions on how I can get "him" to move to a better location or will "he" take care of that all on "his" own?

Thanks!

They will go where they will go.
Give it time.
Only try to move it if it is in danger such as too near a power head.
They have the ability to move and will do so if they need or want to.

Re: Anemone Psychology

I would suggest just leaving it alone and let it move on its own volition. Since you just added it to the tank, it's still getting used to its new surroundings and getting over the stress of being moved. When it needs light, flow, food, it will move on its own.

I agree with icstorc and dentoid, leave it alone and it will find a place where it's comfortable...
