My Long tentacle anemone just started swelling up like a balloon. We have had him for about 7 weeks, he has been doing well. Has anyone else observed this behavior. Tank parameters are all within normal limits.

What are the actually water parameters -- numbers are needed, please.

How long has the tank been set up?
What lights do you have?
What size tank?
What all do you have in the tank?

Sometimes that is normal, and sometimes it is an indication of something wrong, hence the reason for the above questions.
