Default Re: best way to introduce an anemone to a tank

Acclimation time (1+hrs,) low flow (powerheads temporarily off,) handle gently and swift (sensitive to air exposure and temperature,) place as far away from corals as you can i.e. front corner etc. (although they will crawl around still,) and try and get them to latch onto a single rock to relocate easier later on.
