Is this normal for the anemone ? The lights went off 3 hours ago as the timer turns off and anemones foot looks like this pale and see thru
I never seen it like this. It is night time for him but I always see it really red but not tonight.
Clowns fed t today -.-

As he fills with water he'll become more transparent. Mine does that when it inflates to try to move around....hopefully he'll sit tight for you.

I’ll keep updates if anything happens color has not come back I’ll keep monitoring it and I know probably because of stress of moving around and tank changes and lighting

It takes a long time to regain color back....weeks to months depending on the nem and the conditions.

It looks fine/healthy and appears to have found a happy spot it likes for now.

I'll say it again, and please take no offense as none is intended. An LTA does like a decent amount of sand.

No offense taken :) that why I asked for advice.
And well I have a good amount of sand in there until my Clarkis dicided to make piles and piles of it and leave bare spots now almost all sand is in the back of the tank like 5 inches of sand and the front is like 2 inches :/ some parts 1/2 of inche

And my clown goby started to host the anemone as well I didn’t know that was possible

When the mouth gapes open and you can see the messentrial filaments within is when you should worry.

Hes mouth today was like a bubble hit it bit with the turkey vaster to take a look as i was afraid he was eating my goby but nope it was just a bubble went down as I moved it a bit is it normal? And :/ is it bad I blasted the anemone a bit with true Bastet not hard but just normal air coming out of it ...
Also maybe can u guys share a picture of what I should look out for ...
sorry about the manu question but as a girl i panic so much and my husband left me this tanks to take care off :/ and to be honest I have no idea what I am doing I do have experience as I have been doing it for almost 1 1/2 but i lack a lot of knowledge :m

Sps are sensitive to phosguard but it shouldn't be a big deal to the nem. And its ok to worry. :) nems are weird and do aall sorts of strange things...lta s have always been a pain for me to get to pick a spot but generally once they do they settle right in and do well.
