hey all, my anemone is looking a bit weird it looks like it sucked itself in but mouth area still showing, Not sure what’s wrong with it has been having regular feeding three times a week and always takes the food and hasn’t moved from this spot for about 10 months.

Also, feeding three times a week is a lot. Try cutting back on that and see what happens. What are you feeding it? If silversides, there have been reports of them killing anemones (possibly due to a spoiled silverside).

What type of shrimp? Frozen shrimp for human consumption, or meant for feeding fish--like mysis or krill?
