I also got a pink tip hatian (sp?), acclimated it as instructed, he has been moving about my tank (90 gal) for the past week. They are trying to find a location that they like, they will find a suitable place and eventually stay. Mine also looks shriveled up at times, but he "inflates" after a while, be patient.

Doesn't sound too good... Pics would help... But if it doesn't look better by tomorrow, I would seriously consider removing it, before it polutes your tank and kills everything else... If it does die and melt away before you remove it, do a water change and run activated carbon for a while to remove undesired organics from the water...

Yeah, I wouldn't give up on the anenome yet... Its definately still alive... But seriously keep an eye on it for the next day or two... If more of that cob webby like appearance develops, remove it... It may start to fall apart if its dead... In order to minimize what gets into your tank use an old cup to scoop it up... Good luck though... All is not lost, but things are not looking favorable... Resist the urge to poke at it, or move it... Oh, and also reduce your lighting cycle... If you have MH's or other intense lighting that could cause stress as well...

that lighting is no good, there is no way that anemone is going to survive under a single bulb Reg output flourescent plant aquarium bulb, you need Way more light of the right spectrum, at least Power compaqs, 10k and 420nm. that anemone IS going to die under regular lighting.

Ummm... okay, I'll plan the funeral - it was a free item anyway and wanted to try it. I guess I need to invest more money into my tank - and until I do so, I guess I'll hold off on adding anything else.
Thanks!
