Crispa-Malu anemone mouth open

[reefchi]

Hello,

I’ve had this anemone for about two weeks now. It’s been doing well but recently it was climbing up the rock and I think what happened was my MP10 was too strong and it went floating and sucked to the bottom of the MP10. I do have a anemone guard so it didn’t chopped up but slightly stress I think. It was stuck briefly as I noticed it pretty quick.

It’s been about 5 days and it seems to be doing okay but I do notice it’s mouth open. Is this an indication of a problem? Or is okay for now?

I basically want to know if it looks in okay or if it’s rough condition.

I since then powered off my mp10 and only using the return pump for flow. I placed it in the front of the tank on the sand and it slowly been going towards the rocks.

I don’t feed it and just have it alone in the tank while I find a pair of clownfish.

Is there anyway you could take a pic under white lights. It’s kinda hard to see its mouth.

Also, it doesn’t seem like it’s doing to bad, it’s still inflated which is a good sign.

I’ll post some pictures in white lighting shortly

Here’s some pictures with cool whites at about 50-60%.

As of right now I no longer see its mouth open so I assume it’s okay?

I would say it’s safe to assume that it’s ok. However hopefully someone else will chime in to confirm.

As long as it’s not deflating a lot i think it’s still in good shape!

May I ask where you got your from? I am looking for one myself

No problem!

And thanks! I think I’m going to have to wait for their next shipment of nems before I get another one, they always seem to have some real stunning ones come in.

I would love to see an update when you get some clowns for it!

That looks like a Malu to me, especially if he stays in the sand. He looks good.
