I’ve had this bubble tip for around a month and it never seems quite happy in the tank. It’s always moving around but recently it started looking really different and I’m considering returning it to the. LFS where i got it so that maybe they can help it. I have a 20 gal tank w one other anemone that’s doing well and hasn’t move from the spot he landed in when i first added him. I get my water tested at the LFS and they said the water looks great. Can anyone tell me if the anemone needs help?

it looks ok to me. may i make a recommendation tho? get some test kits for yourself so that you can test the water personally. Knowledge is power.

light is perhaps not enough for that specific anemone. as mentioned, checking the water parameters will help in ruling out certain things as to why it is acting this way.

also, anemone's are weird. your tank could be fine and they look like this.

Looks good to me. If it's moving it may be looking for something different (different light, flow, etc.).
