Anemone shriveling up

[USMC 4 LIFE]

I just bought a anemone and am in the process of acclimating it. It's shriveled up and is acting weird. Is this normal?

It's tentacles were extended at the lfs and on the ride home.

It's getting used to your system parameters, light and flow.

Ok. I shut off my power heads to allow its foot to plant itself. I just moved him to the DT. He's looking much better! However he's not planting his foot and I'm having to put him right side up over and over.

Power heads off will help.
It can take a hour or longer but if healthy it will plant it's foot and will start moving.

Ok.

He opened nicely this morning but has closed up since then. His foot is firmly planted though.

This morning

It looks like it's just getting used to its new environment. My anemone kept doing this and I figured out my salinity was a little high fixed it. The next day he was double the size.

Yeah I'm tweaking things. Today I turned on my white LEDs. I had introduced him yesterday evening when the blues were on. This morning the blues came on, he extended but retracted after an hour. He seems better with the white LEDs on now. My shrimp however keeps jumping on him.
