Is my anemone "special"?

[schulz1616]

Hi everybody,
I just bought a long-tenticled anemone a few days ago, and overall I'm really happy with it. It's already taken some food from me and it's opened up and it looks great. There are two problems that I am concerned about. First, it is not moving around the tank at all. I know that I'm not that good that it loved the spot so much that I initially put it in that it didn't want to move. I don't think that the anemone's foot has the ability to attatch to anything. It just keeps bopping around on the sand on the bottom. I figured that this was not a good thing so I dug a little hole and placed the anemone in it so that it won't blow around the tank anymore. Does anybody know what's wrong with my anemone? And furthermore do you think that it will eventually get better? And my second problem is that it doesn't have the reflex to contract when it's touched. I could tickle it and poke it, but it doesn't seem to care.

Thanks for your help
Jess

If it's eating, just leave it be. Trying to "corral" it may work, it may have decided it likes that spot. Cover your powerheads accordingly to avoid anemone puree and leave it alone as much as possible. Touching them isn't good for them.

Just feed it daily and leave it alone.
