Argh I have the weirdest anemone ever!

[blackcloudmedia]

So I woke up in the monring and my anemone was a pink ball with no tentacles. THen when I poked it and turned the lights on. It "woke up" this is the weirdest thing Ive ever seen cause it goes from loking dead to looking like a prime example of an atlantic anemone. Any hints? It only does it when I feed it.

as long as you have good water and sufficent light it will be fine. my BTA shrinks down a good bit at night.

Also, I wouldnt poke it. You wouldnt want me to poke you with a stick when you are in not so good a mood. :wink:

lol yea the reason I poked it is because I though it was dead but it was still holding onto the rock, so I was seeing if it would let go of the rock or if it was gripping onto it. And it was holding on pretty tight.

Well the reason it only does that is when you feed it is because anemones often shrivel up after they poop . You feed it, so that night it's gotta have a nice helathy anemone-type BM.

As long as it returns to normal when the lights come up it should be just fine.
