One more try on a LTA

Decided to get this large green LTA and give the anemone thing one more try. Unlike the last one this guy planted his foot and has been there for the last two weeks. Clowns have taken to him well. He is about the size of a baseball cap when expanded. So far so good but time will tell.

Thanks Lex. No I didn't.
Figured it was severly stressed after being shipped because this one is a 180 degrees from the last one up to this point. I also went and picked this one out instead of trying to order another online.

Gotcha, okay just making sure it wasn't an environmental thing. Some people don't have luck then just try to get another anemone before diagnosing what went wrong - which usually just sets them up for failure again.
Keep us posted, but if it hasn't moved or don't anything in two weeks I'd say you are probably in the clear.

Thank you. Yes, but the picture really doesn't show how green he really is. I have personally never seen a LTA this color until this one. Lex, I would not of risked another try if I thought my water parameters or environment were not suitable. The shape the last anemone was in when it arrived led me to believe that it was stressed beyond the brink.

Hey I totally understand. My first anemone was a Sabae and it didn't last 48 hours because of the condition it was in when I got it, not because of my tank.
Good luck!
