How do I anchor my Anenome?

[wildbunch]

I just bought a long tenticalled anenome. My current in my tank is too strong, approx. 10 water changes per hour on a 175 Gallon tank.
The anenome always seems to be getting blown across the sand. Can I anchor this with super glue?
Basically I can't look at the anenome because he gets blown behind the rocks.
Any help would be great. Slowing down the water rate is not an option.

no i would not glue it i tprob will need a day or so to settle down if i were u i would try to put it in a area with out the water flow if not possible maybe try and get a couple more small pieces of live roch and make a little cave for it untill it gets settled in eventually it will move to where it want to be

Maybe you could cut back on the current or direct it higher in the tank for a few days and the anemone will anchor somewhere. Then you can redirect your flow accordingly. Of course when you change it back it is a ossibility that the anemone may begin to move again because it doesn't like it there anymore.

PLEASE do not use glue on the anemone. If you cannot shut off the pumps, try the cave idea. Once it gets it's foot attached, it will be fine.

Anemone's will anchor themselves. If your anemone won't anchor itself, it may be too much current, or it may not be too healthy in the first place. I have been told by a lot of people that most of the anemone's they lost started out that way in their tank.
But I would definitely try Iechy's suggestions. They need a current, but not of whirlpool proportions.
You should definitely NOT use glue. That would be like someone nailing your feet to the floor - not a pleasant thought...
