So, my wife had some of these small, glass, suction cup planters to put on the windows for 'cute factor'.
In doing some research on freshwater stuff, I found people using these things to mount freshwater plants on aquarium walls.
I thought, 'Why not do that with corals, or better yet'...

People Europe use them for men's as I am in a FB site and many readers are from there. I commented once wound they wonder out and apparently not as often as you would think. I find that interesting as why they felt comfortable enough to not roam.
Let's know how it goes.

I’m interested in how it works out. I have 10 in a clear box, and they won’t be free to roam anytime soon.

Had to separate the porcelin crab from his anem.
In the cup, after target feeding, it's actually pulling food out of the anem's mouth, which looks quite traumatic, and the anem doesn't have as much retreat space to get away.
Anen still in there though.

Mine were supposed to arrive on the 8th. WOW. Just got them.
Tossed one in as a test. May need another piece of rubble in there for shelter...if needed.

I have just one stupid question, what happens when the glass gets algae on it and you can’t see your nem anymore?

I would imagine...pop it off the suction cup...take out nem...clean it off and toss nem and glass jar back in...I guess since I have a second. I could just transfer him and then soak the other.

That’s what I would figure but Rhett really don’t like being ripped off things. Could get bothersome.
 
those cups are good for a while but if the anemone is not happy in the spot it will move eventually, in my wife tank she got one for her nem, and it was not happy and keep moving all over the place
