Retarded anemone?

[Tommy081708]

So the anemone I bought 3 days ago has finally came off the shell he arrived on. Only thing is he seems to have wedged himself in this tiny hole on a piece of LR. Hasn't moved from this spot all day, I know he's not getting sufficient lighting in there. I guess I just want to know if anyone has had similar behavior with these things as its my first.

My Rose Tip hung out in the back of my rock wall for about 2 weeks before coming out in front. Give it time.

okay cool, thanks. I was just worried about the lighting.

Well an anemone will acclimate to the light in your tank and that could take a while and it won't starve itself from the light, the anemone knows best

I think you mean an anemone with special needs. Not retarded.

Well technically since an anemone barely has a central nervous system, the only thing it can really do is react and adapt, well and all the other things like eat, move and photosynthesize, so technically since it has no brain it can't really be special needs lol sorry I just wanted to lay that to rest

It will come out when or if it feels like doing so. Just let it be for now and monitor it's movements to ensure it doesn't commit suicide by walking into a powerhead.
