Do you think i should try and return it tomorrow or wait it outYeah 3.5 months is not enough for the anemone. Its probably being stressed by the unstable conditions.

Just give it time being moved again might kill it. Just observe it for awhile and keep everything close to perfect.Do you think i should try and return it tomorrow or wait it out
Like I said...most. lolAnd then there’s Aiptasia. We don’t talk about Aiptasia .
At this point the return process will likely stress it more than it currently is. If you're parameters are good then it's certainly not impossible that it may come around. Just don't add any more until the tank matures.Do you think i should try and return it tomorrow or wait it out
I wanna say yes and encourage you to further mature the tank and focus on filtration as you have basic mechanical filtration. Consider and hang on skimmer such as reef octopus HOB or Ice cap K-3 units. Anemones require certain tank conditions including lighting, water flow and oxygen levels in order to thrive.Do you think i should try and return it tomorrow or wait it out
Definetely looking into more eqipment just gotta get some more money.

Though specific tank requirements will vary from one species of anemone to another, all species have several general requirements in common. The first is that the water quality of the tank should be very high – the water needs to be clean and free from accumulated debris. Anemones require high levels of dissolved oxygen and a stable pH between 8.1 and 8.3. The ideal temperature range for anemones is between 76 and 78°F and the salinity should remain at a stable specific gravity between 1.024 and 1.026. Levels of phosphate, ammonia and nitrite should be as close to 0 as possible and nitrate should be no more than 2 ppm.
One of the most dangerous mistakes you can make in adding an anemone to your tank is to do so before the tank has matured properly.
While it may only take a few weeks for a tank to cycle – that is, for the nitrogen cycle to become established, it takes longer for a tank to become mature. Only after a tank has been running for 12 months or more can it be considered “matured” in that it is less prone to changes in water parameters and the tank inhabitants have adapted to the tank environment. Anemones generally do not handle changes in water conditions well, so they need to be added to a very stable tank environment.
We've all been there. Just do yourself a favor and research the animals you wish to add in greater detail from now on before adding them to the tank. There's alot of knowledge on this forum at your disposal. Best of luck.Definetely looking into more eqipment just gotta get some more money. Im still in highschool making minimum wage
Your anemone looks bleached or is it just the light?Update: my clownfish keep budging into the side of the anenome does this mean they are trying to host it?
