Help! Anemone is unhealthy?

[Coralfish1701]

This is what my new sebae anemone looked like yesterday, but when i got home today this it what it looked like:

Im worried it is dying, i have heard they should be on the sand, should i move it? Also some debris is on it is that ok?

It looks alright to me. Could be acclimating to your tank. What kind of lighting did it come from? Similar to yours?
What are your parameters? How old is your tank?

The parameters are very stable, and the tank is a few months old, but has all the beneficial bacteria because i used live sand and live rock, as well as letting it go just with two clownfish for about a month. The lighting was similar to mine, should i move it to the sand?

I'm no expert but it looks bleached

It should be a tan color

What kind of lighting do you have? You could move it to the sand I just wouldn't keep bothering it. They will normally move around on their own till they find a spot they like. Even if you have similar lighting you may have to lower the intensity and then gradually raise it.

They are hydra LEDs

Also I just tested salinity and it is a bit high, could that be why it is doing this?

How high is a bit high? Whenever I add an anemome it has its good and bad days, inflates one day, deflates to the point where I think its dead the next. Usually settles within a week or two. I wouldn't call it yet that something is wrong

It is at about 1.028 maybe 1.029

 

[Coralfish1701]

But I am doing a water change now to lower it

I would bring it down over a course of a few days just for the overall health of your reef

Ok thank you

+1 Salinity is a bit high, slowly bring it down. What's your ALK, PH?

 

[Robink]

+1 on salinity and lowering slowly.
What intensity do you have your lights set on?
I wouldn't run them at 100%. I have radions and only run them at 45%.
Also as Cody asked, ALK and PH?
