looks like he closed up,,which they do,,,and is reopening....are the shrimp harrassing it?

What are you water parameters? (ph, salinity, temp, nitrAtes) What type of lighting do you have?

nm he fully opened back up

i guess he was taking a dump

looks like a nano from the ratio of the distortion in the first pic... probably not adequate lighting... anemones NEED metal halide, and a mature, stable tank. if you do have that, i apologize, i'm just trying to read off the pics.

I have a stable 12G nano, 50 watts PC, lighting is ok for a BTA
