Is my RBTA happy.

I got a RBTA a month ago and recently added two white spot anemone shrimp. The RBTA has shrunk a lot since the shrimp addition. As soon as the shrimp found the anemone, the anemone began to shrink. I only had the shrimp for 3 days. Does the anemone need to get used to the shrimp? All parameters are good. First pic is before shrimp and second is after shrimp addition.

Give it some time. Nems are often active, moving around tank and changing size. My RBTA is currently shrunken, too. I think it can see the snow out the window!

Haha, yeah it just moved again this am after being in the same spot for two weeks. Kinda sucks because I liked it where it was.

Nems a finicky I've had happy nems not move for years and them disappear for a couple months and pop up again,split ,bulb up, then shrink, move. There like women unpredictable and never know what they want lol. I wouldn't stress it.

So true...

Haha. The anenome is still moving around. I hope it finds a place where it is happy soon.

the anemone looks very healthy. I imagine it does have to do with the shrimp bothering it, which it may need to adjust to. Those shrimp look cool.
