too vague.. dunno wat u meant.

anemone will expel stale water in its "body".

they do this many times in a day.

expand by taking in water, n expel the water

by shrinking. its normal. if 24hours still like dat

then problem, check base for tear n see sticky or not.

not sticky n floatin ard, high chance bye bye..

its normal. this kind of anemone tends to be veri small. their base is not as sticky as other anemones. I have one b4..

so freaking small, die also won't pollute your tank. no worries..

I got just one die off in my 3ft. not even a single fish was affected. only surface of water, abit "oily". took me 30mins to clean it up.

told u this anemone is one of the more hardy one.

I play with anemone for sometime to know abit. :)

cut your small shrimp into smaller pcs. stuff the shrimp

into the mouth, not too hard or injure it.

chase your clowns away, till the shrimp fully makan.

Your photo is too large... keep it to 700 pixel width next time.

Anyway, anemones will expand and close up from time to time.... perfectly normal behaviour... no need to panic.

Only panic when it collapses into mush. ;)

Hi all,

i got a similar anemone, and the fella doesn't stand at all, its juz curled up like a ball and float around... i threw it away fearing that it might be dead and contaminate the water... anyone can advise more on this type of anemone?

just something to share.....my anemone pass away last night...its white in color with blue tip.....a beauty but..... :(

I wonder does anemone fights with each other?? I got fustrated trying to keep both my anemone (the other one is Haitian) away from each other and let nature take its course but.... <_<

Even since I bought these anemone, they dont seem to open up or bloated up as beautiful as it is initially. Does anemone take Marine Snow as supplement instead of dried prawn? I only witness for one time it consume the whole dried prawn and from then onwards, it refuse to eat any.....worried....It been probably 2 month for my Haitian..my white anemone probably only 6 weeks.....sign!! :erm:

Any advise Bwilly? or anybody?

sjsheng's anemone is the type that likes to plant its base in the sand. This kind also tends to move/float around if it can't find a place that it likes. Luckily, I managed to coax mine to a rock cavity with sandy base - but whether it likes that place, only time will tell. One more thing...anemone needs lots of light.
