Anemone Roaming & Tentacles Sucked In

[codymichae1]

I moved my tank last week and my anemone has not really settled down yet. The past two days, he hasn’t secured himself to a rock at all - he is just kind of floating around. His tentacles have been sucked in and he’s been just open and roaming. Is this a concern or is he just settling down? Pics attached. I don’t see any damage on his foot, and I didn’t have to get him unstuck off anything when I moved it anyways. Water parameters are pretty great…

If it's not attached to anything you can try gently moving it towards a cave or crevice (they usually like to attach their foot out of sight). Sometimes they do roam for a day or two - so that's fairly normal.

Did it bounce back to health? Mine is looking like that right now...

I’m sorry to hear that

It did, the tentacles are not quite as plump as they used to be but it is looking better every day. I turned the power heads off for a couple days until it finally stuck itself down somewhere, and he’s moved very little since then but is eating and looking quite normal. I guess they are much more resilient than we give them credit for!
