Ok so yesterday my husband and I bought a sabae anemone. At first it looked happy but today its not so good. When first put in tank it seemed to find a happy spot and put it foot down. Todays its kind of deflated and its mouth is protruding but looks to be closed. It is also now laying in the sand. We first temperature acclimated and then drip acclimated for 2.5 hrs like our lfs said to do. Our tank is a little over a year old and parameters are great. Ph is 8.1, temp is 78, salinity is 1.024, ammonia is 0 nitrites 0 and nitrates 0. The tank is 55 gals and the current occupants are 2 perculas, a dozen blue leg hermit crabs, and some lazy snails. The clowns have shown no real interest in it. Although the male did investigate it once.
Is there something wrong or is this normal behavior for an acclimating anemone? should I feed it? It seems to have lost some of its color. Its a light tannish pale green whitish color with purple tips. Definitely not completely bleached but not the light brown it was before.
