Anenome Health: How do you know?

[JacqueBickley]

Trying to decide if my anenome is healthy or not? He seems open but anenome’s are a newer critter for me. Also do you feed them? I was taking brine shrimp and squirting some into him but not sure if that’s necessary.
Should the current be strong or not at all?

Looks like a bubble tip anemone, but no I wouldnt say it is healthy. It is a bit bleached, but can easily come back. Anemones can move so just wait til it finds a spot with flow and light it likes. I wouldnt feed it until it is completely settled in. I find it easier to feed them mysis as they dont capture smaller foods as well

It’s been in the same spot for about a month and a half.

then you should be okay to feed it. Has it lost more color since its been in your tank or did it you buy it bleached? What are your tank parameters, and light and flow situation
