Was it newly added? When my anemone have a bulgding mouth it usually means its hungry. Doesnt look bad. Its either hungry or filling itself with new water.

i tried to feed it shrimp and scallop ground up and i think it didnt eat it.

Is it sticky?

 

[knoxtnreef]

sticky? Can you elaborate? If you mean did the food stick to the tenticals it did hold it for a little but i think it ended up floating away...i never saw it close up on the food or it enter the mouth.

Would prefer its month to be tight and closed, but since you put it in there today I wouldn't be too worried. Odds are that it is stressed and need to acclimate itself to your tank.

I wouldn't suggest trying to feed it yet, needs to settle in first.

For just being added today it looks fine. No Worries. It is just expelling it's old water and renewing itself.

As the others said, Hold off on feeding it. You will stress it trying to make it eat. Give it a week or two then a piece of shrimp or silversides should make it happy.

I think it looks good. Needs to have a few days to get acclimated to the tank try feeding it in a day or so.
