How to get an anenome to attach

[clayton]

I have a long tentacle anenome that i'm trying to get to attach. I've had him since saturday (3/2) but he is refusing to attach. There are no signs of damage to the foot or anything. I know their sand dwellers and i've already tried burrying his foot in the sand but he just pulls it back up. Anyone have any advice on how to get them to attach?

I put mine up against the wall and put a rock wall around it and some sand and just fed it once a day and it eventually attached an moved to where it wanted. I notice if I miss feeding it for a day or to it moves around. I hope you have good luck with it. Is it inflating?

[clayton]

Yep, he still fully inflates, and is still super sticky,will try putting on the wall.

Have you tried feeding him

[clayton]

Yes and he did not accept the food.. he just carried it off back into the flow. althogh the clowns are bringing him a couple of flakes he seems to be eating.

there was an 800 gph powerhead running, i unplugged that one thinking that may be the problem, its been unplugged since saturday, so i added in a smaller 300 gph powerhead just to keep a current going,but as of now he still hasn't attached. I guess as long as he is still alive and not showing any signs of stress ill just let him be.
