Hi all
I'm looking for some input on my new green bubble tip anemone weird behavior. I guess all anemones are weird, but this one must be weirder.

So I got this guy 2 weeks ago, and it has been going back and forth. Sometimes it closes at night hiding all its tentacles inside the body, and sometime is shrinks during the day for a couple of hours like on the picture below.

Other than these few moments, it looks perfectly fine and has not move over an inch from the spot it landed.

Tank is over 6 months, got 2 AI 26HD at 50% and low to medium flow.

Should I be worried, as it went back to normal after 2 hours or so? (At least until now)

It can take nems a while to find their sweet spot and settle in to your tank. I wouldn't be too concerned at this point. And yes, nems are weird!
