Long tentacle anemone help

[tmm16cbd]

I've had this guy a couple weeks now and he has moved quite a bit. Mostly probably due to the fact that I placed him on the rocks and have since learned that he wants to be on the sand. He has attached pretty well to the rocks, and has eaten, and looked fairly happy from time to time.

I am a little concerned because he doesn't have an optimal placement yet, and he has shrunken quite frequently (a couple times a day probably) and now has squeezed into a hidden spot in the rocks. Should I try to move him? Other ideas?

My water has been perfectly in the margins that I have read on here for anemone keeping and no real fluxes or changes in conditions of any kind.

Any help appreciated and thanks in advance!

A few things, first this forum isn't for anemones there is the clownfish and anemone forum a few up the list from this one. This forum is for soft corals ie: leathers

Need to know what color is the foot of your anemone, is it purple or red? I'm not so sure this is a LTA long tentacle anemone, could be but need to see the foot to be sure.

What exactly are your parameters. "perfectly in the margins" doesn't tell anything. So need a full list of water parameters. How long has your tank been setup and what lights do you have? One other thing is how much flow do you have in your tank?

You can ask a mod to move your thread by clicking the red triangle with the ! in it and ask them to move it to the Clownfish and Anemone forum.

The anemone you have is a Condylactis gigantea (Condy anemone). It is an Atlantic anemone, does not host clownfish.

Thank you OrioN, my LFS either mislead me or just didn't know better. I have read up on Condy's and have found that they have been known to eat other fish and are hostile towards other anemones and corals. I assume that I shouldn't put any other 'nems or corals in as long as I have it. It has been doing pretty well, it is a traveler for sure, but I enjoy finding it in a new place almost every day.
