    i was also wondering what i could use to put the anemone in. coral morphologic suggested using pvc end caps to hold the anemones in the sand. Could i use something else? I have some black plastic lids to alot of the brightwell aquatics stuff. Was wondering if those would work?

    Mine has moved approximately 3 inches from where I put it. I put mine in the sand but next to the rocks in an area of average indirect flow.

    No you dont dip nems.

    no i just put my nem foot between 2 little rocks on the sand bed, he took off under my rocks and hid for a day, now hes out and roaming the tank looking for a spot he likes. u just gotta put him somewhere he can anchor his foot down before he can be blown away by the movement of water
