nem not attached.

Should I be concerned that my LT hasn't attached itself in the 2 months that I've had it? It's been in the same spot since 3rd day it entered the tank, it's not trapped and it's being hosted by a pair of true percs... I just can't for the life of me figure out why it won't attach. Does this mean it's really not as happy as I originally thought?

 

Ashleigh,

So it has not attached to the sand or the base of a rock? Can you see the foot completely unattached?

If so, could there by some type if irritant like hydroids, aiptasia or another pest or algae on the substrate or rock.

Unfortunately, when I have had anemones that do not fully foot or attached to something within the first week (even though they may move around some) it ended in the death of the anemone.

Can you post an image?

 

yes, I can see the foot completely unattached. When first introduced, I was under the impression that it had attached to the bottom glass but the next day it was in the spot it is now, fully opened. Now hydroids, I'm not sure of. Aiptasia, I do have a couple but not near the nem. I may have had it longer than 2 months but not longer than 3, not that that's relevant really just came to mind. Let me see if I have a picture. If not I'll try and snap one real quick.

 

:-/ bad? photos are approx 2 months apart. the first you can kinda see the foot mid-left of the pic. the 2nd 1 was taken just now.
