Sebae Anemone question

[iClown]

It's day 5 since intro of the Sebae Anemone into my tank. Water checks out. Added new sump with 7-8 gallons of fresh mixed salt water. It's still not happy nor does it look like it wants to jump off a cliff. Does it take this long for it to get use to its new home? My BC14 stock pc lights are due and I'm waiting on Fedex to deliver it tomorrow or Monday. It doesn't move much to find it's spot. Doesn't eat either. What to do?

whats in the new sump? Any uncured/uncycled materials? Also, more details, pics, and water parameters would help as stated below...Best advice is to leave it alone, make sure it has moderate waterflow and get those lights going. Dont blast your new lights right-off-the-bat either. Get creative if you dont have a dimmer and shade a portion of the new lights for 2 to 3 days. Once the nem starts the photosyn. process again it will get comfy, find its spot, and recolor itself. After full light for 2 days, aim to get the nem to eat a small portion of a frozen silverside (very small) using a dowel with a toothpick afixed to the end via rubberband. Whatever you do, dont stress it out by trying to coax it into full bloom. If your water is right and it has flow, it will get comfy sooner or later. They can go long periods without food, some nems I have had were never fed directly and thrived for decades, so dont stress on the feeding either...good luck
