Hi! I’ve had this anemone for just over a week I bought it from petco (I know not that reputable but it seemed very healthy and I felt comfortable with it) and it’s been acting awfully peculiar ever since. About once or twice a day for a few hours it’s tentacles shrivel up completely and turn neon green, it flattens out completely, and the mouth swells up and starts to gape a bit. At first I wasn’t too concerned because I had read that they do that to adjust to water parameters and expel waste, and that some seem to just do it on the regular oddly enough. But it’s been over a week now and it’s looking the worst it has. Totally shriveled up and the mouth looks so open and inflated it looks inside out. I’m just wondering if there’s anything I can do to save it. I haven’t tried feeding it yet because people seem very divided if that helps or hurts in a situation like that. Thanks for your help!
