How to stick anenome

[DrDave]

I just bought 2 Anenome at Fish Town USA. How do stick this guy on to live rock? Refusing to stick.

Anemone's are living organisms and wil stick themselves where they feel comfortable. You can't tell it where to go. It settles where it wants to go.

Here check this link out maybe it can help you out.

Did you try to 'stick' it somewhere with glue or epoxy?

I think I know the ones you got at FT and what is happening here. Dave you need to turn off the circulation pumps when you introduce them and give them a few minutes to attach to a rock. If you keep the circulation pumps on they are just going to keep floating around.

DrDave,

No offense but you really shouldn't have bought the anemones if you don't know how they will "stick". I think it was you that had another thread about wanting the anemones to keep your clownfish happy. And according to that thread your tank is only 3 weeks old .

Do you know what types of anemones they are or what their specific care requirements are?

Can you really use glue or epoxy? or you are joking? I never had a problem with any anenome, but it is good to know...

I think swimmer was asking out of curiosity if the guy tried to actually use glue/epoxy bikini. You can;t use glue or epoxy, prolly burn the foot of the anemone and do more bad than already placing him in a 3 week old tank.

Your right...

It would be kool if we could use glue, then we know no anenome would ever move around in our tanks and would not have to worry about corals getting stung...

Thanks T. I guess my use of the English language got lost in translation.

How too get an anenome too stick: you first lick the bottom of the foot and then you stick it where ever you want. :smash: :kidding:
Glue /epoxy who ever heard of such a thing. LMAO :biglaugh:

Sorry I just couldn't resist.

It will find a place on it's own.
