long tentacle anemone

[Jim Hancock]

I bought a lta 3 days ago. Within a few hours he was completed planted and blown up and completely open. Yesterday, i got home and he was shriveled up but hes maintaining color and you could still see some tentacles. Now hes opening a little and closing back. Hes not anchored but not floating around. He hasnt eaten when i have offered food. He has a fish stuck to his mouth but not eating it. Should i be concerned?

Maybe...
How long have you had the system set up?
How large it the tank?
What kind of filtration and skimming do you have on the system?
What kind of lighting do you have on the system?

Anemones require top quality water, a well established tank and good lighting. It is not unusual for an anemone not to dig in for awhile. It's looking for a place it likes. Anemones only need to be fed about once a week, don't try to force feeding until it's settled down.
