Ok after giving that other anemone back to the store and waiting a while they got my new one in. I would like to ask some questions. Please see attached photo of the anemone (photo taken with my cell phone, sorry.....LOL)
The anemone has been 2 days in my tank. It has moved to this location in the first day and not moved again so fare. He looks a bit under coloured (bleached) and his mouth is open a bit (about 1 inch wide), this is the condition I got him from the LFS. Will he burrow in to the sand by himself when he is good and read too? On my light I have 6 x T5 lights, 4 white and 2 blue. Each one of the light can come on separately. To acclimatise the anemone I have 2 blue and one white on at the moment (for the photo I put another white on). Will run it like this for 7 days then add another 1 light every 7 days until I have all 4 white on. My water is as follows: Salinity - 1,025 , Ph - 8,2, Kh - 9, No2 - 0, No3 - 0,03. The anemone was acclimatised for 2 hours on the drip method before entering the tank. Is there anything else I could do to better the overall health of the anemone? Should one add Iodine? And what is the mix? Looking forward to all the great information.
