I have just purchased a quadricolor, at the daytime the anemone sitting at the bottom off the aquarium ( Picture ) but when the lights is off, the quadricolor are going at the top off the rock, and look very good , I think it should bee the other way , what can I do wrong here,

My water parameters is not the best, but I think it maybe should be ok

KH 8
Temp 28°
CA 480
MG 1470


Please help me, any help is better than none one.

It might be getting more light in your tank than what it grew accustomed to at the store or warehouse. What are your lights? You might want to gently try feeding it some flake or mysid to make sure it's eating.

Looks partially bleached...it is going to need a few weeks to acclimate to lighting of that strength. Maybe screen off the anemone portion with diffusion grating or raise the fixture a few inches.
