I have had an orange base anemone in my aquarium for a little over 2 weeks now. I have a 48'' smart light for lighting and very good water quality. I originally had it placed on some live rock with a "bowl shape" where it stayed for about 7 days, then un footed itself and let the current push it. Its now on the sand, in the same spot for about 5 days now, but refuses to foot itself in the sand or at all. I thought it wuold show signs of decline but this is not the case at all really. It is slightly smaller that it was when it was footed, but only by a diameter difference of about half an inch. Additionally it still takes food from me and grabs me if i get close. I thought that maybe it would feel cozier with some clownfish taking care of it. I obtained a small "pair" of true perculas at the 9 day point and they took to the anemone quickly. The anemone still has long full looking colorful tentacles, and other than not being footed seems normal. I have noticed that it rotated to face the light better, but sits on its side with the mouth and tentacles facing upwards. My question now is how do i get it to foot down better? Should i place it on rock again? Should i place it in a spot with more current (although current is good throughout my tank)? or should i just leave it alone and let it decide what it wants? Thanks in advance
