Hello all. So I’m new to posting in forums. So please forgive if I seem like a green-horn.. Here’s the problem @ hand. I took an anemone in on trade for some labor from a LFS owner. Supposed to be a green bubble tip anemone. Which the only thing that was green on the anemone was the tips. The rest is a cream— light pink— to translucent. Depending on its mood or something. But here’s the problem. I only have experience in have one anemone,, and it was years back. A lot of things have changed in the aquarium world in 15 years..... Anyway,, this anemone I have had in the tank for a little over a month. When I brought it home, I temperature acclimated bad for 20 minutes. Then drip acclimated for an hour and a half. The put in an acrylic box in my tank to acclimate it to my lighting. Which is two AI primes. The first couple days I was perplexed @ why it would expand and contract itself. Almost continuously. And the fact that it wouldn’t stand up straight. For the first few days I assumed it was just acclimating itself to new environment. However it continued past a few days. So I called the LFS I got it from for advise. 30 year veteran in the aquarium world. He explained to just keep doing what I’m doing and it will work itself out. Well, after a month and a half,,,, it has not worked itself out. It still lays on its side and is still expanding and contracting frequently.. Anyone out there got some patience left to talk anemone talk???? Thanks kindly in advance!!!
