I purchased a LT about 10 days ago and it still seems to be finding it difficult to find a 'settling spot'. It has tried 2 or 3 so far and has not stayed in one place long yet. The last one he tried I thought he would stay in but to no alass.
Water parameters are good (won't bother you with the details) but I suspect my new LED lights (aquaillumination) may be a tad too intense for him? I haven't tried the 'placing it in PVC and then into the gravel trick' yet but will that help? I have 2 Tunze nanostreams in the tank as well so maybe the current is too intense?
I have fed him a couple of times and he did take the food so that is a good sign I hope. I did also add a porcelin crab at about day 7 and while it found the LT to host (which is good) I suspect that may have stressed him out a bit more?
I admit that while I am not new to reefing I never have had huge success with anemones for some reason. I have read through quite a few of the posts here as well as some of the other forums so I know quite a few of you have had some good success so hopefully you can help educate me on what pieces I'm missing :)
Thanks so much for the help!
