    Bubble Tip Anenome

    your anemone will choose its own spot wherever it feels the most comfortable and if you must move it point a powerhead toward it (dont place it right next to it ) just aim it toward it and it should release and move elsewhere. ;)

    Bubble Tip Anenome

    I agree with previous post and would like to add that after its acclimated it will shrink up from time to time so please dont assume its dead and pitch it . It will look like like it died but it will expand back to full size. Good luck ;)
