anenome question

[mullin22]

I just got a haitian pink-tipped anemome. He keeps moving around the tank, which seems normal. Trying to find a home. But he keeps pulling in all of his tentacles and he looks like a pnk ball. Is this normal or what am I missing. Any help please.

I don't know about the ball thing he is doing, but do you have the right kind of lighting for anemones? They need very powerfull lights, not the regular bulbs. That could be the reason he is wandering, to find better lighting.

A little more information please.
Tell us about your tank.
Water specs? Lighting? Filtration? How did you acclimate him?
Temp? Alk & Cal?
It could be that he is not used to your tank and needs time to acclimate.
Could be acclimation shock
Could be lighting shock
Could be normal acclimation process, till it gets used to your tank.
At this point could be anything.
