Bubble Tip Anemone

[jiwenen]

Need some help here. My bubble tip is 3 day old in my tank. It seems to always spread itself out. And it appears to be huge.

Is it normal?

It looks bleached.. but it pretty normal for them to spread like this.. what lighting are you using..

the lighting comes with my tank. it r/w lighting...

Was the colour like that when u bought it and is the mouth always open?

If possible try to increase the lighting, and try to feed it.

It should be back to health in no time with proper care...

when they expand mean they are reaching for light and food.

I think it looks bleached from the picture.

is it still in your tank?

Bleached because not enough lighting or too much?

[darrentyl]

Did it try to move towards the lights?

Your anemone looks bleached and is starving!Look at the mouth!

What's the best food for it and how often need to feed it?

[oldnick]

anemone are advise to keep after water matured. Some says best to keep when your tank and water more than 6 months.

[dev_igit]

you can feed small choppped shrimps..they take it easily at start weekly once..

Thanks for the info. I'all give it a try. One more thing, if it is hiding will it help if I "unplug"it and place it somewhere where I like it to be?

not to worry it will move around and find the sweet spot. Good luck

Do not plug out a anemone... you might damage its footing and kill it.... just leave it alone and it will find himself a comfortable spot to stay for good.... i have a bleached bta for 8mnths till now, it was white when i bought it, and most ppl tell me that it wont survive for more than a week..... now its doubled in size and eating all the time though its still white. in my experience, they are definitely hungry when they extend they tents like this... mine does it all the time... after feeding it a piece of small chopped market prawn, its will go back to its bubbly self.

BTW... if u really have to move an anemone, try blowing it with a wavemaker, eventually it will dislodge itself.... hope this helps
