Hi everyone.
This is my first post so please be gentle with me.
A few months ago i bought what i was told was a red based anemone. After a few days wandering it settled in the corner of the tank with the deepest sand and there it stopped. It disappears under the sand for days at a time and never fully opens. It does feed and i have had a local marine shop test my water. all seems fine, maybe if im honest my nitrites are a little high but the temperature is correct.
Today i noticed that it has lost some tentacles on one side and i really don't want to loose it as i understand that its a messy process and i have become quite attached to it.
Any help or even a positive ID would be great.
Thanks.
