Hey guys

I got this Carpet Anenome yesterday. I read online if there mouth is open it's a bad sign. I turned off all the flow he quickly buried in the sand and settled however its mouth does look open a bit not gaping widely but open about half a CM. Just thought I'd ask on here to see if anybody with experience knew about it.

Alkalinity 7.5
Calcium 440
Magnesium 1350
Salinity 1.025
Nitrate 0.08
Phosphate 0.05

5 year old sps dominated tank.

Hard to tell with that picture. I think it’s more gaping that is a bad sign, not necessarily an open mouth from a feeding response…if it says wide open I’d say keep a real close eye on it. When they die they go fast. It’s a beautiful anemone! I had a huge carpet way back in the 90s. It was so cool. They’re way cooler than bubble tips imo but they are straight fish killers!

Looks fine for a new haddoni. Beautiful! How's it doing?
