Lazy Anemone

gussy · 02-06-2005, 07:15 PM

My LTA does not want to stand up straight. It's always on its side. I've read that they like to dig into the sand at attach to small rocks, but mine doesn't want to do that. Yes, it is sticky but not attached to anything except maybe a few pieces of sand or sometimes partially attached to LR. Yesterday was the first time where I got it to stand the whole day, but by this mornight...on it's side again. Otherwise it seems health and I just feed it yesterday. Should I just leave it alone?

If it seems healthy, I would... assuming it moved there on its own. If you put it there, try putting it near a rock. Or possibly putting a rock next to the spot where it is now.

I dug a hole in the substrate and fill it will M&M sized river rocks and then put the anemone on top. So far, it is still standing after 2 days. I don't know if it normal for an anemone in the wild to be sitting on it's side.
