hi

I just bought my first Anemone on Friday
It was fine for the last two days and was all the way open.
I fed it a small piece of raw shrimp yesterdayAM and it consumed it and opened back up after. It was open this morning, I had a fish death this morning and removed the fish. A little while ago I checked it out and the nem was closed all the way up.
checked the water and my ammonia was a .25ppm. did a partial water change.
It's a 55 gal tank.
It is a purple Cody Anemone.

Any tips, should I be as worried as I am.

Thank You
 
My purple tip condi closed up almost a full day when I first got him, but now he's doing fantastic. Probably just getting used to his new environment
 
Ok, even if it was open all day yesterday.

I knowing want 0 ammonia, is .25ppm really bad and should I worry.
Just keep up on water changes, cut back on feeding?
 
Sorry about the fish death. I would recommend a large water change, followed by weekly 15-20% water changes until ammonia drops back down to zero. Reducing your feeding schedule and/or fedding amount will also help.
