Question about tube anemone?

[vlangel]

This is my 1st tube anemone and it closes up during the day. It is in the center of the tank where the light is brightest but that is where there is space enough for it not to sting coral. It looks happy and healthy when its fully open so should I be worried or is this normal behavior? I am feeding it and it appears to be eating.

it was always open. if a fish bumped it, it would retract but open fairly quickly.

post a pic or vid of the tank. its possible a coral that opens nearby during the day could be causing this.

other thought is if you are feeding it, it is digesting what you fed it.

Ok, I will do that when I have an opportunity. Thanks!

looks fine to me though the frogspawn behind it it might inch closer too. I think it was just digesting food.

It did retract back into its tube an hour or so after that. I will keep a close eye on the frogspawn.
