Anemone Deflating/Inflating

[mikchabe]

I've had a BTA anemone for 3 weeks now, and about every 2 days it deflates for most of the day, and then inflates again.

I understand that anemones deflate periodically, but don't expect it to happen this frequently.

Is this frequency normal, or does this indicate a problem?

The anemone has been in the same spot for the last 2 weeks (near the top of the aquarium, where the current is high). The anemone is in a 24 gallon AquaPod with metal halide lights and a Tunze 9002 skimmer.

I have a pair of clownfish, but they are not hosting in the anemone.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I think its normal for them to do this for the first few weeks. After that though if it is happy it should stay inflated most of the time. If its getting good flo and light maybe check your water conditions.
