long tentacle anemone question ?

i purchased a medium long tentacle anemone to day and was told to dig a small hole in the sub straight and place him in , well the short and long of it is that just did not work. the power heads moved him right out and he floated around a bit ,then i turned the jets off and put him back ,and because my B&W clowns decided he was theirs at this point they knocked him out and about !!! so how do i get him to stay put any help would be nice !!!!:-/

 

get a bowl or something to put over him and protect him for a while. That will give it a chance to get a hold.

I made a cage out of egg crate just for this purpose.

 

Yeah I had to do that with a net. My clarki's mauled mine when I put it in the tank. Net would work better than a bowl if one's big enough. A bowl would trap water. Either works though.

 

How many anemones do you have.

I have noticed a condy, a BTA and a new LTA mentioned in your current post,

You can not keep these different type of anemones together unless it is a large system and established for a year or more.

Would love to offer help if I can but I am really confused.

 

ahhhhhh the tank is about 5 months old and yes i have all 3, they are split up the condy and the bta are at the top of the rock work on different panicles and the lta is at the bottom i have been changing my live stock around a bit . all my levels are good nitrate less then 5 but all els good , i have been stocking my tank with the advice of the lfs in the town next to me ! ow ya its a 68 gal . a really appreciate all advice and want a well balanced system !!!!!!!!

 

im trying to figure the the picture option to show arrangement !

While assistance with stocking a tank is good, it is not always the best idea to follow the LFS. They are going to sell you things that are not appropriate for the system. It is a business.

You are going run into problems with keeping three types of anemones in a 65 gals tank that is relatively new.

Not trying to be mean or negitive, just honest. You may not see problems immediately. One anemone goes walking or goes bad and it can bring your whole system crashing down.

Good luck and I hope it works out for you.

 

i appreciate your input greatly we are planing a 210 tank build this year and will be readjusting ACCORDINGLY so much to learn !! kind of fun !!!
