Green anemone

[Alcasrac]

Hi all,
I got a nice green anemone, on yesterday, at night found the place and daytime was nice open.
I just noticed did’t closed the mouth proper, and bit later just start to come out.
But now looks like dying.
this is my first so i don’t have PracticE with them.

It doesn't look bad to me. I'd do one of 2 things.

If you really think it's dying, pull it out and put it in a small container (tupperware, beer mug, bowl... whatever). Then every morning and every evening dump most or all of the water down a drain and refill it with water from the tank. I've kept a pair of anemones like this in an old peanut butter jar for 8 weeks and they did just fine.

The other option is you are overly concerned. Anemones can act weird and look bad for hours and even 2 or 3 days and then go back to being perfectly normal.

Have you ever measured the PAR at that spot in the tank? Also the ALK in your tank may be way higher than what he was use to at the LFS.

Typical of haddoni carpet. Be sure to feed - really perks them up

 

[Alcasrac]

I don’t have par meter. Sorry for question what is LFS?
