Anemone Questions

Cyanohater · Feb 5, 2023

I recently got a Green BTA for my 1 and a half year old reef yesterday, it is doing well and the nem looked bubbly today and the clowns were loving it. I know it is stressed atleast a little from the moving. My tank params are good and don't fluctuate largely or enough to matter. My anemone seems to have its mouth ever so slightly open, nothing has been coming out, insides, poop, etc. And it seems a little less inflated than it has been though the lights are off. Is this normal as it adjusts? I've been monitoring it and again nothing has come out of the mouth.

I just got mine too for my 16 months old tank. I’ll learn with you on this thread.

I’m all for it.

Here’s mine. It’s still moving a little bit, I’ve only had it for 3 days.

Just keep an eye on it. You don’t need to feed them but it doesn’t hurt either.
its normal for them to deflate, poop and change when going thru the photoperiod.

Good light and good water parameters.

this morning he was inflated closed mouth all the way and bubbly. I think he'll be alright.
