Hello everyone,
I just noticed a baby anemone that was split from a large anemone into 3’s. HOWEVER, I cannot see its mouth but its foot is tiny and it is a struggle to have him stick into a rock, he would detach from where i place him most of the time. I kind of got him to stick into a tiny hole for his baby foot.

He still looks like he’s healing from the split but his foot wont allow him to expand. Its very hard to see his mouth.

Its alive, although its a struggle to watch him stick onto a rock.
Is there anything i can do to have him stay in place for a moment until flow current is turned on?
His foot is kind of tilt to the side so its hard to place him onto a flat surface.
He is struggling to stick and move on his own.

If you have a breeder box or acclimation box, move him in there partially under the light for now. It just needs time to heal, this is fairly normal behaviour for super small splits, and the more you mess with it the higher chance of loss is. What I would do is just move it once into a box and then leave it for now, once it’s looking normal then open or sink the box and let him leave on his own ideally.
