long tenticle anemone not sticking

[civickid]

How do you get them to stick to the rocks all he does is sink to the bottom.

Most long tentacle anemones like to anchor themselves to a substrate. Most likely it will find a spot on the sand. Give it some time.

can i put it between some rocks and hope it will put down its anchor or will that not even work at all. I have tried lying it on some rocks and it falls off. I have also tried trying to place it in the sand and it falls over .

You can put it between rocks that will most likely work but anything is a possibility.

Lta's like the sand, or atleast next to something in the sand ime. Try not to hurt its foot (attaching/detaching from rocks will do it) or you may have difficulties getting it to anchor down at all.
Try a spot next to a rock with good light and flow, then let it move where it wants.
My lta took about a week to anchor down. I dug out some sand next to a rock and placed it in the hole. After it attached to the rock some I gently filled in the gaps with sand. It moved some atfirst, just readjusting itself/digging in.. since it hasnt moved (2 months or more).
