Hi guys
Looking for some advice, any input is appreciated...

Our green bubble tip is 3 months old in the tank, tank is a year old. No temperature swings (79F), ph 8.0, around 35ppm nitrates average and 0 amonia/nitrite.

It went hiding about a week and a half ago, and stayed hiding under a cave for a couple of days. Then it came out, looking great, fully open. Now since yesterday it's hanging upside down, detached and attached back on the same spot a couple of times. Not looking great. Is it dying? Should I take it out of the tank before it does any harm?

Thanks!

It may be trying to move and it got stuck in the rocks . When they die the fall apart , have you seen it doing so ?

So today I decided to pick it up and place somewhere calm that it could just hang out... the nem was still hanging upside down, no signs of getting worse than the picture on my first post though.

Now this is it after a couple of hours from placing it back up. I don't think things are looking good, I will give it a couple more days... what do you guys think?

Keep an eye on it! Anemones have a mind of their own so when you move it somewhere, doesn’t mean it will remain there. It will search for its “happyplace”! Clean water, good parameters, ideal light and moderate flow are keys to a healthy Anemone.
