lta needs help

[seannmelly]

hi i posted this in the clownfish and anenome section but no one seems to be helping me over there. my lta wont foot any place i put it. ive had it for a week now and it looks very healthy i fed it some krill and it ate it it just wont foot. now since it hasnt foot and its been laying on its side a section of its tenticles are getting "mushy". my guess is from being underneath it rubbing on the sand for a week. i rotated that part up so its getting light now but still needs to foot asap so it will stay upward. when i acclimated it it footed to the bottom of the bucket within a couple min. now in the tanks wont foot at all. any help will be good at this point thanks

I dug out a hole in the sand and put mine into that. Take some sand and push up around the foot. Once I got mine a clown he has not moved in over a year.

do you have too much flow? Try to give it a place where there is alittle flow but not enough to blow him around.
