I just got this bubble tip anemone yesterday it settled in this spot it was a wider and taller earlier today and it even ate some brine shrimp. Also when I got it, it was taking a ride on a turbo snail. In addition to that turbo snail I also have around 4 trochus, 3 cerith, 5 blue leg hermits, and 2 small clownfish all which haven’t seemed to bother the anemone. Now it looks smaller and a little shriveled any thoughts? Will it survive?

Salinity is 1.026
Temp is 77°

Your Tank looks a bit young, but they are typically pretty hardy IME. Ok thank you. It is a very young tank but my brother

Thank you. It is a young tank but my brother really insisted on getting one and this one was a bundle with the snail lol. But its nice to head someone say they’re hardy ive almost exclusively heard horror stories.

I have heard those stories as well and my experiences have generally been the opposite.

My current anemone has been through a good bit. Just go slow with the tank and it’ll be fine

Give it a couple of weeks to setlle in. I wouldn't be surprised if it deflates again in the next couple of days.
