I concluded that my tank is way too young to house an anemone, and I got caught in the LFS salesman just trying to make a sale by saying it would be fine (and being so new to this, I believe everything they tell me). But I cannot return my friend now so I was hoping for some advice. After about a week of having the GBTA (in that time he was doing great), he decided to hide on me. I read about it and everyone said that's ok, so I let it go and he finally moved to where I could see him, but he was opened up showing his mouth; which I also read was normal for them to do for a short period of time. He was still eating (or at least grabbing for food) so I thought that seemed normal. But he stayed with his mouth open for multiple days, then moved again to under some rocks. I can barely see him but he looks like he has shriveled up a bit. He is however still hanging onto the rocks, so I think that is a good sign. My water parameters are all fine (amm-0, nitrites- 0, nitrates-10, PH- 8.0ish, SG- 1.022). Has anyone had their BTA act weird for an extended period of time? Or should I be worried?
