New anemone

[wolt]

I just got this anemone and and drip acclimated for like 1 hour and put it in like 20 minutes ago I just want to know if it looks fine because it is deflated

Also just saw this on my shrimp and have no idea what it is

How old is the tank? What are all the parameters, Alk, Ca, mg, PO4, no3, salinity etc ?what lights do you have and what is the PAR that the anemone is under?

 

[wolt]

The tank is about 2 months I have two mars aqua black boxes salinity is 1.026 nitrite is 0 ammonia is 0 nitrate is about 10 to 15 and everything else I can’t test right now. But the anemone is about 1/3 up and the lights are dimmed right now

It’s actually starting to look a tiny bit better. Some of it is getting puffy

Pretty early to have added an anemone to the tank. Just keep an eye on it. If it detaches and mouth gaps open, its in trouble. Might be getting used to your tank.

Yeh kind of a bad choice u did there. You should have wait for ur tank to mature more. I'd say atleast 6 months to a year before adding an anemone. But just make sure you are keeping to ur parameters really stable for this to thrive.

Sometimes clowns annoy them also haha

Yeah I know it’s too early to add one but all the other corals in my tank are doing good and also I got a good deal that I couldn’t pass up

 

[wolt]

Also for the lights should I keep them dimmed for a bit or just keep them on full power

 

[Arthacker87]

Nems tend to move th their ideal spot so if it is lights, Id like to think it would move.

 

[wolt]

It looks a lot better

I would not dim the lights. They like a lotta light.
