New to anemones

[miamireefnoob]

Hey everyone I have some questions on anemones specifically the Green BTA and the Heteractis malu
1. Is it okay if my BTA is not closing at night, I have had it for three days now and it does well in the day closed mouth and all but at night its a little smaller but it does not close
2. How long before the H. malu finds a spot? I cant seem to get it to go anywhere and it just gets stuck on things then moves on.. seems like it needs help.. does it? :sad2:

Most anemone get a little smaller 50-57 % of normal size but does not "close up".
You Malu seem to need treatment. They are fairly hardy. Wedge him between a smooth concave rocka nd the sand. He can attach to the rock then dig his way into the sand. They need low flow and not to bright light.
