okay I just got a gbta and I placed it in the spot where I thought it would be good. The anemone promptly settled in BUT he sunk his foot deep into a rock and is facing the back of the tank. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get him out and turned around facing the front??????
The spot he is in makes it virtually impossible to feed him there......

good I will try that......I can't imagine it is getting much light where it is. I thought I would give it a couple of days to see where it would settle but I don't want it settling where it is if I can help it.......

Update......a week later and the anemone is still lodged in the same piece of rock. I hope it is getting food from the current as I can't target feed it where it is at. I did try and place a small bit of mysis rolled in a ball into it's mouth by feel alone and no sooner did I get my arm out of the tank I see a peppermint shrimp running for cover with a big glob of mysis in it's paws. Robbing from the anemone......I will have to think of something....

2nd update

Update.....a week later, bta has decided to move. I woke up this morning to find it on a high rock placed evenly between my frogspawn and toadstool. It is not touching the toadstool but the frogspawn will expand with light and they will touch. I imagine it will move again???? once it gets stung by the fs?
