Hi, I just recently purchased my first anemone. It seemed great the first two days of having the critter. It didn't move at all, planting itself in a low flow area. It even ate a meaty chunk of food! I have a small concern though. Every night it seems to shrink to about half its size and darken in color. Is this normal? I will have pictures soon

Totally norm...

Yep, normal they'll do that from time to time. Mine will shrink down and go deep into the Tiki Head ornament that it's attached to sometimes, usually at night.

Essentially it is "going to bed"
