new to anemone-keeping

[susan2626]

I just got a lovely small rtba two days ago and my single clarkii dove right in - and hasn't left even to eat. The nem has stayed in the same spot I put him on x 2 days - hasn't moved which I guess is a good sign

Two questions

1) do the nem's close up at night like all my euphyllia do? this morning it looks very small (lights go on in a half hour)

2) clown hasn't left his new love and is breathing more heavily than normal - like he is agitated or even starved for oxygen. Should I be concerned or is that just because he is excited?

ps - all param's normal, tank well established etc.

thanks and wish me luck....

anemones have been known to inflate/deflate in relationship to lighting or feedings its usually to help them wash away waste.

as for the clown sounds more like excitement then anything else
