Anemone: Signs of distress?

So I've noticed in the few weeks that I've had my LTA that it changes size and shape quite a bit. From what I've read this seems be fairly normal. Sometimes it makes me nervous though... I just got to thinking, are there any tell-tale signs of distress or sickness? What should I be looking for to know that my nem is happy?
 
I have several LTA- They are truely individuals. Some stay pretty much the same all the time- but they are likely to be variable. My oldest one which I will hae to look and see how long I have had it- I have been saying ten years for the last few years! But anyway- it varies quite a bit. I would say there are some days it is 14 inches- there are others it is 11- which is pretty dramatic. New ones such as yours may take six months of stable enviorment to reall settle in. Also the larger they get the less variable in size they are. I think it likely is similar to the BTA and wheter it bubbles or has stringy tents- its just something they do. As long as it doesnt stay deflated for long periods I wouldnt worry. If it looks good and is just bigger or smaller from time to time- normal.
 
Thanks for the feedback. That seems to be exactly what mine has been doing. It hasn't been quite two weeks yet so I guess I just need to be patient and give it clean water and good food. Seems like every day it is a different size. Up to 9-10 inches all the way down to 5 inches or so.
