I got a RBTA in the mail today (shipped fed ex) is it ok to just grab it with my hands when i move it into the tank? Or is it going to sting the heck out of me?

The anenome will not sting you badly, my suggestion is after temperature acclimating the anenome in the bag pour the bag out with the anenome into a fish safe bucket. Next cup your hands around the anenome and quickly transfer it into the tank. Once in the tank carefully giude it down to the spot you want it cupping the foot of the anenome with your hands. Carefully upright the anenome on the spot you want it and your done. It should get a foothold on the rock in a few minutes. Do not let the anenome sit up-side-down in the tank, right it on the rock.

Thats pretty much what i did, it grabed hold in just a few seconds and is opening nicely... Only its kinda tilting towards the back of tank instead of towards the display side... his foot is slowly stretching out, hopefully he tilts himself right
