CA2OR Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Has it been moving or just staying there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobble Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I moved the rock that was on top. Here's a pic of where he is now. Pretty much the same spot as he was this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 hmm....You can try not feeding him, maybe it will entise him to move. When he moves into desired location feed him. And keep doing so for a while maybe then he will stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobble Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Will they actually move to get food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobble Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Looks ok... Gee, thanks Andy. Just ok, huh? (laugh) I guess he is just ok since ya can't see it. (sad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well, I don't wanna *date* it so yeah, just ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 IME&O that is usually the reason that they are moving. With mine, which is a Green bubble tip, it moves and moves until I start feeding it regularly. Then, shoot, I can take the rock out of the water, put into bucket, put back into tank in different location, and it would still stay right there. Unless I stop feeding it, then it notices things like light and such. I am just under the belief, and this WILL be disputed, that anemone's move to find 3 things. 1-idea lighting 2-good flow which leads to #3 3-food. IMO they go for where they think the flow will bring food. So if you feed he should stay put. Again, this is just my opinion based off my eperience with my anemone. hope this helps.

wobble Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well I just fed him another piece and he took it quickly. I'll see what he does in the next day or two. Maybe since I moved that rock that was over the top of him blocking the light, he will find somewhere else in the tank tonight/tomorrow. Well.....hopefully. I didn't realize it would face the back wall! Not exactly what I had in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Feed it regularly and that won't be a problem for long... it'll grow and grow and grow until it faces all directions at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 lol....I hear that. It is worse when they are on the move, and you are moving corals out of the way, then they duck into the rock work so you don't know when or where they are going to pop out. Ugh....frusterating. But wouldn't want a reef tank without one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobble Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Do you think I have too much flow for it? (2 hydor koralia 4's in a 75g) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 And Andy just nailed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Do you think I have too much flow for it? (2 hydor koralia 4's in a 75g) No I don't think it's too much. You may consider figuring out a way to guard the intake grills of the K4's until The nem is definitely settled. If it lets go the "fish guard" will not help.

wobble Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Good idea. Any suggestions? (i.e. different powerheads, what to guard it with, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 No I don't think it's too much. You may consider figuring out a way to guard the intake grills of the K4's until The nem is definitely settled. If it lets go the "fish guard" will not help. Very good point. Don't want it to get in there. That would be bad JOO JOO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 READ THIS http://www.freewebs.com/karenssaltwater/ There is a section on covering powerheads... It talks about MJ's and seios, but not koralias. See if you can do something similar. You don't want anemone soup. I bookmarked that page and read it several times when I first started back with my new tank. Then I read it again before I got an anemone. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobble Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Thanks for the link. That helps alot. I will see what I can find tomorrow to cover those k4's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobble Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks for all the help guys. And thanks Chewie for the support after buying it. After some persuasion from various powerheads and rock rearrangement, I think it's in a spot we (me and rbta) are both happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 No problem on the follow up. Looks VERY happy! Expect the pink coloration to darken up a little bit in the next few months. It looks slightly bleached. Has it taken food yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobble Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 He's actually darker pink than the pic looks. Crappy camera (laugh) The tips are deep pink and tentacles slowly fade as it gets closer to the base of him. If he is bleached, I hope he will be ok. He's eaten two chunks of squid three days ago. Last night I fed frozen plankton and the clown was feeding it. I tried to feed it a chunk of shrimp last night, but every time it got the shrimp close to its mouth, the clown would knock it out.

vanz Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hey, nice rose and clown! Are you planning on getting another clown to form a pair? Would look nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobble Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks! I thought about it, but didn't think two maroons would do very well in a 75g. I heard they get pretty mean when they get big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
