anemone ?

[jnllargo]

Hello
About 2 months ago I received a Cinnamon clown with his hosting long tent anemone from a friends tank. They are beautiful. The clown is about 4.5 inches and the anemone spreads out to at least 12 in.The LTA was a a flesh color with white strips radiating from its mouth and has started to get darker more of a brown. Is this a sign of good health? Also I have notice its mouth open on occasion is that normal?

I believe that's a good sign although I'm not an expert.. Anemone's will expell their Zooxanthellae (internal algae) in captivity and appear to be white.. If she's doing well, and that's the case, that may be a good sign.

A gaping mouth can be a bad sign that an Anemone is dying...

How are your water Params?

Id try target feeding, it could be gaping its mouth trying to collect some more food ... as Im sure its in a relativly low flow area of the tank, its quite possible its not getting the nourishment it needs

Also as far as mouth opening
I feed him today and watched his mouth function
it seems he has a closed mouth but is keeping it a little tucked in
looking from above you can see it closed just under the disc
