rose anemone

Help,
I just bought this rose tip anemone and it was doing fine but today it shrivelled up to nothing. Anyone have any ideas? Is this normal? Hope its not to late.
Thanks,
Doug

no worries, anemones always shrink and expand to regulate the water inside them and their surroundings. yours is probably just getting used to its new water. also, anemone's shrink all the the time when they're pooping too.

i am totally agree with your first part.

i have 12 RBTAs, when i feed them cut up shrimp and silverside, they do shrink a lot. but after talking to calfo, he v not to feed anything bigger than mysis shrimp, i give that a try, wow, i havent seen any my rbtas shrink almost a year now.
