Hey guys new here to the forum and to anemones. I got one and placed him and he really liked his spot. Stayed there for several days now.. Then one day he ducked deep into the hole and didn't show up till later that night and then today he has moved. He's kind of laying down next to another anemone. Is this okay or should i be worried? should i put him in another spot or quarantien(sp?) him? Thanks!

One looks like an M. doreensis, and the other a "Condy" (( a non hosting anemone )), I would at least separate them physically.

The M. doreensis (( LTA )) should have its foot buried in the sandbed, and most condies are rock dwelling.

What size tank?
What lights?
What are your current parameters -- with numbers please.
How long has the tank been set up?
How long have you had each anemone?
What all is in the tank -- livestock and invert wise?
