Anemones out at night

[bloddyshrimp3]

I have a sebea anemone for a week now at first it opened up all the time. THe last two nights i wake up and it's closed. It opens around 8:00pm and stays open till around 3:00am. My lights turn on at 10:00am and off at 10:00pm. Any one have this happen before? Or any help to have it open when my lights are on?

I've always noticed that anmeonies were like cats, their going to do what they want to do, not what you want them to do.
I have 4 BTA's and they all open during the day or lighting period, in the evening or middle of night I can find one that is open, one closed, one just shrunk some or any combination.
Or it could be getting ready to move and has been expelling it's zoo.

the lighting at the lfs was probably not verry good, and the anemone is just getting usted to your lighting.

Should I do any thing? Lights on less? Move it? It closed up1/2 hour after my last post and hasn't opened yet.

just let it be. Moving it will just stress it out even more!
