New anemone stressed

[beehive124]

So I ordered an anemone off of ebay. Super awesome colors on it! I left my dad in charge of drip acclimating it, as I was at school. I told him to dial the valve to make the drip setup 1 drip per second. I should’ve told him to make it 5 drips a second because after 2 hours, and when I got home the water volume had only doubled. It was also a bit cold, in a panic I put the anemone in a breeder box and got it in the tank. The mouth is now “bulging” if that makes sense. (I cant get a pic right now due to lighting) Anyhoo, should I just give it time or what’s the move?

Best thing you can do is leave it be now. Turn down flow and add it to the rocks. Anemone are a pain to acclimate over the first couple weeks. Very hardy afterward.

Give it a week to adjust to your tank, best to not add it to the acclimation box as it can’t adjust to your lighting

Yea dont stress, it should be fine. I dont even acclimate those guys, usually just dump them right in lol. Give it a few days and it should look better.
