hello everybody!!
so i'm new here and i really need some help with my new green bulb anemone... i have no idea what is happening to her.
the first day i had her, wednesday, she was great. she found a little cave-like hole in one of my live rocks and she was full and beautiful. taking food and everything. then yesterday evening, she decided to move which was fine, i was expecting her to find somewhere. but ever since yesterday when she decided to move, she's deflated, her mouth is swollen and exposed, she keeps turning her tenticles in and almost like.. hides her mouth when i try to feed her or when a fish swims by. she won't accept my clownfish for some reason.
but she's not bleached out, her foot is bright orange and her tentacles are the green like she was when i got her from live aquaria. i drop acclimated her for almost three hours, constantly monitoring her. the water peramaters are perfect. so i don't understand why she's doing it? and just a few moments ago i finally got her to eat, but she's spitting some of it out and producing a brown mucus color?
again, she's not attached. i turned my powerhead off and reduced the flow because she was kind of floating around. now she's in one spot on the sand bed but she won't attach.
should i remove her and put her in a different tank? should i put her in a smaller tank with the clownfish? any help is greatly appreciated.
here's a picture.
