Help! Anemone shriveled up and deflated

[Webslinger]

Good to hear

That’s just silly taking pictures. Why do your bta’s keep dieing that you have to keep buying them? I constantly give mine away. One bta becomes many.

let’s see some of your pic comparisons

My btas don't keep dying. I'm saying that I take a picture at the store to make sure I have a reference in how they look acclimated. No need to be rude

 

[Webslinger]

oh it Just sounded like you buy anemones all the time. Your tank must be huge.

No need for the hostility slinger. We’re trying to help a guy out. Take your bad attitude back to your tank which, by the sound of it, just puts the whole R2R community’s to shame!

This was an update about an hour ago. The anemone seems to be getting lighter in color. ik this isnt good but is there a chance it will go back to darker?

 

[Webslinger]

exactly! Everyone who keeps anemones knows that they need stability. And most tanks take 6 months to a year to stabilize.

give it a few weeks... nothing good happens fast in the hobby. Focus on the tanks stability.

BTW ... the anemone looks fine.

Might be just adjusting to light since you moved it?

My rainbows, a single anemone will turn will turn all pink and light colored and all the rest will look normal. Then it will look normal in a few weeks. Anemones are strange.

I have about 15 anemones ( 3 haddonis, 3 gigs, 1 magnifica, 6 btas, 1 LTA, and a mini maxi). I have bought a lot of them, but it wasn't because they were dying and I replaced them.

With my experience so far, I do not listen to people who say to wait for an “established” tank for ones who “need it.” I have a butterfly fish and a koran angelfish and you know how stressed it is how you need a big tank and an established tank to own them. They are doing perfect and are extremely happy in my 65 gallon along with my clownfish, royal gramma, and mandarin.

Lol a Koran in an 65g good luck with that!! Also a
Nem in a 4-5month old tank and a noob.....

How do you know they are extremely happy, are they smiling at ya? Anyway good luck, your gonna need it...

Uh oh, reef police. Yeah I have had it for about 1 month now. Eating perfectly, swimming around, fins are out, changing colors. So b4 u make an ignorant post, yes they are happy. But thank you for the luck.

Leave it be. The anemone will move or go where it wants. Keep it out of power heads and you should be good.
Do not try to force the clowns in the BTA. Let things happen natural
