    Pink Tip Haitian Anenome, Green Star Polyp accimilation ?

    Read the drip acclimmating thing too, it was really helpful for all my toher fish, none went into shock and they are all doing perfectly... if you just dump it in the tank your going to probably harm the anemone more then your tank.... Is it healthy looking now?
