Bubble Tip Anemone

My bt placed himself up underneath an ornamental castle where there is no light and worst of all I CAN'T admire him!!!! How can I get him to move

Just where do they normally like to be? Also is it ok to offer my coral-banded fish a treat of clams or fish? How many times a day is good to feed your fish? Thanks! Any advice MUCH appreciated!! (I have the t-3 lighting for the bt, guess he don't like them???)

Bubble-Tips like to bury their foot deep into the shadows and then reach up into the light as needed.
The also like mature tanks and are not easy animals to keep. How long has this tank been set up?

7 months and duh I meant t-5 lighting that snake told me THANK- GOODNESS they rock!!!

But he s just "footed" in this stupid ornament! I kept moving him in the beginning (being selfish as I wanted to see him and feed him!) and he ept movng, even changed my powerhead flow? Guess he's sick of me? He's like tucked way up under this castle thing?

They use a LOT of much needed energy when they move. I suggest never attempting to move them because it usually depletes their energy reserves past the point where they can recover.

It will move when it needs the light, just leave it alone. It shouldn't sit in there and die. It's probably more irritated right now then anything.

OK gotcha!! I feel bad now! Should I try and target feed him some clams or something? THANKS FOR HELPING ME OUT!!!

If the tentacles are sticky then feeding it is helpful. Any meaty raw seafood will work.
