does anyone's Bubble tip anemone deflat more than 3 x a day?

[SabrinaJean]

I just bought a rose bubble tip anemone earlier this week and was worried about the size. It was the size of a silver dollar and has expanded to 4' or so. Neways, Does anyone else's bubble tip deflate more then 3 times daily?
When I get home he looks beautiful, but then when I see him again, he looks like a tight butt hole. Is this normal? He's new so do u think he's unhappy or unhealthy?
My other LARGE bubble tip never deflates except for the day I got him. I wonder what's up?

Its most likely still acclimating to the new system. Give it some time. My GBTA only deflates at night though.

It is most likely that it is still acclimating to your tank.Mine only deflate at night or when it is taking a poop.

He ate it but I hope he gets bigger

I have one that deflates everyday and the others I rarely see deflate.

its normal to do this. mix of acclimating and cleansing itself. when I first got my rbta, it did it several times a day and I thought it was dying. a month later and it only does it at night or after it has digested its last meal.

I have had my GBTA for a month and feed him myself 3 times a week. have never once seen him deflate to remove waste.

Mine is 4x bigger than when I got it a 1 1/2 months ago and it's huge during the day but it turns upside down and deflates a bit at night to about 1/2 it's daytime size.
