Anemone Help

[Mr. Starfish]

What should I do if my anemone goes and hides in the back of all my live rock and can barely fit?

What kind of anemone? How long have you had it? How long has the tank been set up? What are you feeding it?

I have had it for 2 days. 13 watt light+7 watt light. Don't know what type of anemone. Tank has been set up for 3 weeks. I am feeding it pieces of raw shrimp.

no anemones in 3 g tanks and 13w of light is not nearly enough sorry

Tank it back to the LFS or to another reefer with more light and larger and older tank.

ya, i agree with GSMguy

Same opinion here. Sorry but the chances for the 'nem surviving are not good in those conditions

How is "acting just like it was" exactly?

and if it is acting ok for now, in that tank size and lighting it wont be happy for long, sorry to be ruff but I feel sorry for your anemone, not a good situation to put it in, Also its not wise to just go out and purchase an anemone and not know what kind it is, having an anemone is alot of work and a huge responsibility, it is up to you to know what you are doing and to give it the best life possible and not make it suffer
