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

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
