Behavior of the bubble anemone

Tara2761

Yesterday, I acquired an Entacmaea quadricolor (bubble tip anemone). I planted it in the center of the aquarium on a rock. The anemone immediately attached itself to it and opened up. After all the lights went out, it started to move. It slid down to the sand, was caught by the current, and was carried to the side glass where the xenia grows, and it attached itself next to it. I thought that since it seemed to like it there more, I would move the xenia to another spot. In the morning, the anemone disappeared. I searched for a long time but found it in a crevice next to the rock where I initially placed it. Now it's already noon, the lights are fully on, and it hasn't come out. It's just sitting in the crevice, from which I can't retrieve it without dismantling the reef. What should I do?

let her sit, she'll find a place herself. just make sure she doesn't get into the stream

Jason

How can she get in there? There are grates (pump san-san 101) or seep through? If so, I'll wear stockings for the streams.

It happened what I feared. Getting caught with its foot in a crevice, the anemone crawled out to the back side of the reef. You can see it through a tiny gap between the rocks. It seems to like it there. I can't get that stone out without dismantling the reef. I'll wait, maybe it will come out somewhere else (which I highly doubt). I bought a pancake!

If she was healthy, she will definitely come out. Everyone loves the light. You can try to remove the current from the side where she settled.

I have a red sea bubble coral that floated around the aquarium for 3-4 days, and then it found a spot on a rock and has been sitting there for half a year, so it's better to leave everything as it is..............and don't forget to feed it sometimes..........

Tomorrow I will try to feed it with shrimp. Should I turn off the current or can I do it like this with the tweezers?

Feed the anemone, during the adaptation stage, with very small pieces of shrimp or two to three frozen brine shrimp. That is, again, as colleagues have already mentioned, disturb it as little as possible. Feed with tweezers, do not turn off the current. If the anemone does not want to take the offered food, do not attempt to force-feed it, as this may lead to the animal's death.

Good day to everyone. It seems my anemone is doing very well on the other side of the reef. I thought about how to feed it since I have no access to it. Yesterday, my wife and I spent a long time thinking about how to get the rock it settled on, so as to disturb the other rocks as little as possible. We found a solution. I placed it not far from where it was sitting, just in front of the reef. My princess spent the night well and didn't crawl anywhere. And today, when I came home from work, I fed her a small piece of shrimp. She ate it with pleasure.

If all goes well, your princess will reach a huge size in about a year to a year and a half, around 40 cm in diameter. Mine did... It started to divide. Once mine reached that size, it split into 3 independent anemones, one of which I kept for myself. But what’s surprising is that one of the fragments of this anemone belonging to my friend also soon divided into 2 parts. Thus, from one anemone, there were 4...

How often should I feed her? Right now, I'm sticking to a schedule, giving her a small piece of shrimp on Sundays. And every day she gets a little bit of artemia. I think she has already grown.
