I just got a new anenome. It's a bubble anenome. Im not exactly sure which kind. Since i bought it from my LFS it has shrunk to half its size but it still looks the same just smaller. Here is a picture of it in the store. Any thoughts would be great!

Also its moving around the tank trying to find a place to settle, about how long will it move around until it finds a place to settle?

Unfortinatly there isn't a time table you can put on it, they move till they are happy..... When they find that place, they stay. Best advice I can tell you is to cover your power heads so it doesn't wander into one of them, that never turns out well... unless you like sushi.

It's definitely stressed....just leave it alone....feed it small pieces of meaty foods...I feed mine scallops...I buy the frozen bag of bay scallops from Walmart....thaw...and break off a small piece
ONLY FEED IT when it is open...just place the food on the tentacle

What are your water parameters? SG? How old is your tank? It's definitely stressed. It could bounce back but it needs some tlc.
