Something weird with my Sebae

[geofrog]

I've had this Sebae anemone for over 5 months now and it has grown tremendously during that time. But recently I have noticed that it's mouth looks swollen, not gaping as I cannot see inside it's mouth. My water params are fine. It seems to be eating when I feed it, and there are no other signs of stress. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on with my anemone?

Do you have a picture? Sometimes it helps to see what you're seeing.

I have an H. crispa that is commonly called a sebae (so are a lot of other types of nems). Lots of times the swollen "lips" on mine are a reaction to food being in the water.

I don't know if that helped or not, but the fact that the mouth is closed and it's acting normal in other ways I wouldn't get too worried right now, but keep an eye on it. Maybe you'll be able to find something that triggers that response.
Good luck!

I'll try to get a shot of it when I get home tonight.

Do get a shot, but it sounds normal. Mine can have a swollen mouth quite often, as well. It has never been an issue.
