Carpet Anemone Help

[Allin14]

I purchased a Electric Green Carpet about a week ago and ever since I put it into my tank it hasn't been doin so good. keeps pretty shrivled up and the mouth is open a bit. My levels are perfect and temp is good. I have metal halides and vho's so light is good. Where do they like to be in the tank and how much flow do they like? Any help would be great. Thanks

Well they will go where they want to go IME. However, if he is shriveled up and the mouth is open a bit it really doesn't sound like it is a good specimen. Does he feel sticky to the touch? This is a good sign that they are healthy. I had a blue carpet for a long time and found that he liked to be at the bottom of the tank with moderate flow. You question is very subjective and there are a lot of answers for it, did you check out the anemone Q&A?

Yeah he is really sticky and I have it in the sand near some rocks with med flow. I'll check out the Q&A. Thanks for your help
