Im not Thomas and please dont get mad at me for answering but IMO, that anemone looks fine so far.......got any powerheads in there

 

[reef diver]

its ok, any help is apreciated, yeah i do, i kept my current one off, to protect it. Im neurotic ever since my last anemone smoothie

I agree with dogstar, it looks fine, good color, well formed tentacles, however depending on time of day of the pic, they are not extended very well right now. Does this change throughout the day?

Well they extend a bit farther, but not much, but in that shot I had just fed it. Now it seems to be "eating itsef. Basicallyfolding a corner of the disk into its mouth, but when it comes out its unharmed. Its been doing this alot today. The tentacles dont extend much farther out, however at the LFS its hosting clown there, nibbled on it alot until the LFS sold the clown. Could that be the reason?

Some clown fish will nibble or even bite tentacles off. What you are describing sounds simply like it was eating something.

Well they never extend any farther out. My new clown is hosting, but he is rarely in the anemone. Why? Also will the btentacles regrow? The clown doesnt seem happy that the tentacles are short, he doesnt move around in the anemone, he only goes thee when I get close.

Ok so the tentacles seem to be growing now from several inadvertent feedings and two purposeful ones.
