I purchased a LTA last saturday at the LFS and acclimated it to my tank. Water is RO/DI and readings are PH 8.3, Amonia 0.0
Nitrite 0.0, Nitrate 10 and calcium is 400, salinity 1.023 and temp usualy 79 but the last two days it has been warm here and it is at 82 at the end of the day.

I have been feeding the LTA silversides and she is accepting them. The cleaner shrimp is a PETA but I give him some at the other side and he gets preoccupied and lets the Anemone feed. The first day Igot her I placed her on a rock close to the surface and in 2 days she hsd gone into a cave in my rocks. She moved out and found a spot in the sand under a ledge but now is on the move and is laying on her side with her foot totaly exposed. What is going on? Is she in trouble. Please advise me on the best course of action to take. Thanks in advance!!!!!!
 
keep your powerhead intakes covered and keep feeding the anemone. Mine took a long time to settle in. LTA will put their feet down into the sand and prefer 4" or more. Also, they usually like to wedge their feet under a rock or are attached to the underside of the rock beneth the sand.
