New Anemone Dark Brown Stuff Came Out

[ShaggyRS6]

Hey guys, I got an nem yesterday. Was doing fine, has been out all day until about 30 mins ago when it shrunk and spewed our some brown sticky stuff.

It coincided with me feeding the fish although I did not directly feed the nem.

Any ideas ?

It’s probably expelling zooxanthellae. They sometimes do this when adapting to new water conditions and lighting.

That or just pooing.

Back to normal about 60 mins after it did it!

Poopy, most likely.

He just had to poop. Don't stare when they do, they get bashful.

So I just picked mine up and he’s been like that for 7 hours , should I worry? The guy I picked it up from didn’t have lights on his tank and mine does. Turned the lights off now but will it adapt?

Did you acclimate it and how and for how long?
Additionally, light is too bright for introduction.
Also, what is age of your tank?

Yea I acclimated it for 2 hours , about 9 months
