anemone squirting??

[st3]

i just bought a carpet anemone todayu and put him in my tank. 2 seconds later a small fine mist came from him, is he goin to the washroom or what??

he may be just exchanging the water within his body cavity for some fresh water, or he may be stressed and emitting zooxanthellae. i really doubt it's the second, but seeing as how carpet anemones are hard to keep, that could be the case. hope this helps...
