Have you tried to plant it in some crevice between the stones? I planted my macroalgae that way, and it attached to the live rocks. Or you could bury the foot in sand, so that the tip of the foot touches the bottom glass.
Leonard
We can use "you" informally. I haven't tried. She used to bury herself in the gap between the stone and the sand. But now she doesn't want to do anything at all. If I bury her, my Clark will definitely dig her out.
Joshua9340
Let's do it. But we can try to gently push her down with a small stone. The main thing is not to tear her leg. It wouldn't be bad to separate her from the clarks for a while. For example, we could bury the anemone and cover it with a large strainer with a fine mesh so that light can penetrate well. This way, the clarks won't be able to reach the anemone.
Heather6148
Oh! It will be possible to try it out. What do you think a colander can be made of?
Ryan
G. crispa requires turbulent flow. The mushrooms indicate that if there is any flow, it is laminar. Usually, crispa do not wish to attach if there is neither a suitable flow nor lighting.
Darlene4238
You can buy a colander.
Randall7906
Judging by the photo, the anemone hasn't lost its color, which means the light is suitable for it. As for the current, I don't know.
Derek7322
I'm a bit afraid to put metal objects in the aquarium.
Antonio
It's fine. Just a little bit of a mess. At least the actin will settle down properly.
Joseph9057
With my luck, I will definitely buy a copper colander.
William1830
Oh!!!! What if we take a low glass with a wide mouth and stick the anemone's foot in there! The clarks won't be able to dig it out of the glass! And that should suit Kripsa as well. And bury the glass with the anemone in the sand!
Lindsey3628
As funny as it sounds - it really is. After all, it is attached to the glass, so it should attach to the shot glass as well... What does everyone think?
Rebecca1419
Well, damn!!! It opens almost fully 20 minutes after the lights go out!!!
Maybe I should ask someone with a well-established aquarium to take it for a while? Would they take it?
Angela7060
I have had my aquarium for 2 years, so I think it's mature. I'm not really against taking in a fish temporarily. But I have a nitrite level of 0.05 (it keeps spiking, damn it).
Anthony4281
I think the system is still many times more stable than mine! I'll check before the weekend, and if there is "no movie," I'll ask you! Thank you!
Darlene4238
Off-topic It reminded me of a phrase from a joke about doctors: "Shall we treat it or let it live?" I wouldn't touch the actinia or put it anywhere - it's stressful for it.
Anthony
Yes, it was in a half-joking manner. Of course, I won't put a cap on her or stick her in glasses. Today I gave her a tiny piece of squid - she opened up, and I noticed that greenish spots started to appear on her tips. That's good! But she doesn't want to attach!!! I thought maybe she lost the ability to attach (I read that this often happens), but she has slime. Sand sticks to her foot...
Kayla7655
She is just pretending. She liked being fed with a spoon, and now she doesn't want to get attached.
Sarah7284
Well, it seems to be getting better. Today I placed it closer to the light and between the rocks, and it was open all day. The zooxanthellae seem to be gradually recovering... Maybe I'll figure it out. By the way, I looked at photos of crispa on websites - I was actually sold an anemone that was almost without zooxanthellae. So it's not a given that I stressed it out with my conditions!
Matthew1280
Guys! Don't turn the topic into a verbal bazaar, you're forcing me to clean up. Don't waste words unnecessarily, stick to the topic.
Angela
I'm afraid it will settle on the back side of the reef - I have a large gap to the back glass. I won't touch it - we'll keep an eye on it.
Zachary
There is no need to be afraid of this, as due to positive phototaxis, it will eventually come out into open space where the current is better and there is more light. It won't stay behind the reef for long; it's not comfortable for it there. Even if it does cling to the reef with its foot, it will still stretch its snout closer to the light, that is, to the surface, and you will see it anyway. That's how it is for me in service. But if there is a disruption in the aquarium due to the issues I mentioned earlier, it may retreat into the rocks and not appear until it either dies there or comes out.
Larry9400
- Can the sea anemone climb up from sand to rock??? I have the impression that "our wonder" is planning to climb from sand to rock with the umbrellas - I made a separate Black Sea J.K. (living stones) for them - it's turtle-shaped, the idea is to beautifully cover the entire stone with Zaontuses, and the little anemone has settled right under it and seems to be trying to take a bite out of it.
Robin
Wear nylon socks on streams close to actinia - the flow will drop, but at least there will be some protection from the "meat grinder."
Christopher8654
She is sitting tightly - meaning she hasn't detached and is swaying - thoughtfully - carefully - she wants to go somewhere.
Bryan1851
Damn, I don't want to "jinx" it, but the rule that "an anemone and an open pump in the aquarium will meet sooner or later" has never failed.
Daniel4967
Sanya, anemones can crawl anywhere and on anything. They have no eyes, but they can have plenty of desire to crawl. Therefore, all water pumps in the aquarium must be protected. How? People have already given you hints. If there are water pumps behind the reef, put a foam filter on the intake side.
Amy
They have grown so much on the suction that there's no need to wear anything.
Once my wonder settled on the sand, it just sits there - out of curiosity, I reached out to touch its leg - it’s stuck to the glass so firmly that I don’t even know how to move it if I add stones. It looks very cool and beautiful - the tips are glowing, there’s no slime, and it waves its arms in joy. Should I feed it or not???
Sheila1322
Here are the pictures to complete my question - in the center is the culprit herself, she was sitting on the stone to her right facing forward for 2 months, then she climbed from the front to the back of the stone - and then she sat down on the sand. That's where she is sitting now... during lunch today - she had lunch. But gosh - I was thinking of putting some stones where she is nesting - how can I ask her to move from there if needed???
P.S. The back wall hasn't been cleaned on purpose - the Zebrasoma has just settled in - I don't want to stress her out - so I haven't gone there.
Jennifer5784
Take a stone, preferably a natural one, like a live rock, that is in the aquarium. If there isn't one, chip off a piece from a larger rock and place it so that it slightly leans against the little one. Sooner or later, it will climb onto it, and then you can relocate it somewhere. Just don't think about prying it off; you'll harm the creature.
Rick
Dig up the sand and move it to his foot (the stone) or just place it on the sand so that its "hands" can feel it?
Janet5447
Yes, that might be better, just be careful...
Laura7633
It's up to you, of course, but the anemone is just perfectly placed there. And an opening in the rocks always looks better than a pile.
Robert5335
Well, I wanted to make a gorge there - like two rocks converge - and right now the little action looks proud there - it really settled nicely - but as I said, I'll slide a little stone in - mobility will be there just in case.
Daniel132
With the stone, you need to do it like this - two pieces and one on one. So that if it crawls over, it can swap them and be in order again.
Almost off-topic, but yesterday I replanted the mat of the tapetum - I put it in a beautiful shell. It stuck, holding on tightly for about 4 hours until the lights went out. Then I thought - let me check the setup - I turned on the flashlight, and saw the mat floating freely, almost drifting under the stone with the anemones. I had to "dive" again and rearrange it. As a result, it stuck not to the lower stone, but to the upper one. That's how it goes with these anemones and their relatives.
Lee425
Well, if you really have nothing else to poke at, and you want to, regardless of whether the creature likes it or not, you gently push the anemone's foot away from the aquarium glass with your finger, then carefully slide your finger under its foot and quietly detach it from the surface. The procedure takes between 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how quickly you do it. DO NOT TEAR OFF ITS FOOT!!
In general, let it decide where it feels most comfortable. Then you'll have to worry again and pull it out from its favorite spot. And if it sits on live rock, then you need to be even more careful when detaching its foot!!
- Don't touch it for now.
John
I'm not going to tyrannize her - I'm just curious how it's done in case of "urgency."
Tricia7885
Off-topic I’m not being a bore, but in this case, the less you know, the better you sleep - 100%. So that your hands don’t itch. (P.S. - I know from experience)
Amanda
If the anemone crawls close to the acropora, the latter will not fare well. Even being nearby, the anemone will definitely have a negative effect on it. Remember, Sanya, the minimum distance between the non-photosynthetic corals should be 10 cm. However, sometimes certain species literally rub against each other and nothing happens, but that is when there is an element of compatibility. For example, Parazoanthus sp. touches its tentacles to Palithoa, and yet neither one stresses nor hides its polyps. I see this in my reef.
Adam4310
Intuitively moving the Acropolis to another place - but 10 cm from Ksenia - is that okay?
The "wonder" is still sitting in the stone, but it's fidgeting - I can see it wasn't planted in its previous gorge.
Elizabeth882
Normal.
Robert800
I have an anemone sitting next to a pocillopora for a month, and as far as I can see, they even touch each other a little during the day; there are no traces left at the points of contact.
Andrew7823
I want to end my trials with the little one - she ran away from the stone every day or two when I brought her back - she just wants to live in the sand under the residential complex (living stones) - she has settled there and I don't bother her, my foot sticks to the glass.
Jerry
Sanya, go meet her, or she might not understand... And might end her life by suicide in some stream... Let her sit there and not stir...
P.S. I didn't give a figurative description of actinias for nothing; "creatures, though brainless, are still smart"...
Michael5242
So she just sits there, and I don't bother her - well, I feed her once a week, but she's growing really well!
Stuart
I have a similar problem with the Quadricolor, what should I do? It doesn't want to attach. Thank you!
Diana3118
The quadricolor hides its leg in a crevice or hole in the stone, so if you place it on a flat surface or just on a stone, it won't attach and resists. Try to insert it with its leg forward into a depression in the stone and deeper.
David
She lies beautifully like a pancake. Her leg is in the plane below.
