When I moved my Haddoni carpet from my 125 reef into its own tank It didn't settle for several weeks. Origionally I only had a few lbs of LR, After I added a few more lbs of LS and about 15lbs of LR it settled right in.

Try changing the current flow and direction, Moving the rock structure around (if possable) might help as well.

My new H crispa doesnt seem to want to attatch its foot to anything. I found it upsidedown, fully inflated on the sand this am. I turned it upright, and it kinda rode the current a while, as a snail pushed it along. It seems otherwise healthy. Color is coming back, ate some scallop chunks last PM, what gives?

I have read that if you drill a sizable cavity into a rock and place it in there that it may take to it. It may take several days or weeks of uninterrupted "sitting" before it attaches. I have not tried this, but anything this harmless is worth a try. Good luck

My long tentacle didn't take anchor to one spot for almost tree weeks. Then it would stay in one place for about a week and then move to another spot. But before it anchored anywhere, it would lay on the bottom and push it's foot up in the air or just float around like an umbrella. In time your anemone will find a spot it likes and stay there. Mine has finally found a spot it likes and has been there for almost two months now. :)

Good Luck,
