Sabae Anemone

[tootall101]

I was given a beautiful 14 in (gray)sabae anemone on Sat. I did a drip acclimation and placed it on the substrate. I came home today and it was all closed up and even the two skunk clowns had deserted it. My water is 0 across the board. It looked fine last (Sun) night. I know my AC went out today and the water temperature was 84. I have put a window unit in the room now to serve as a backup and trying to keep the room cool to help keep the water cooler. My normal temp is around 79-80. I am looking at getting a chiller to help stabilize the temperature. It is very humid and a fan is just not helping that much. No other coral are showing signs of stress.

Hard to say if the temperature had anything to do with it. Sebaes [IME] are very sensative to changes to water chemistry and temperature, but anemones will normally shrink and expand periodically, especially in the first few weeks.
