Hello,
Yesterday I purchased a small long tentacle anemone from a person who had kept it for a long time in their aquarium.
After introducing it to my tank the anemone found its "happy place" and today I fed it a chunk of peeled raw shrimp which it ate with no problem. About 3 hrs later its mouth is swollen like it became a bubble or something!

I dont know what to do! Is this normal? What should I do? :S

Please help!

Thank You!
 
Leave it alone it should be fine. 1 day is a little early to start feeding. normally wait a week.
 
ok thanks!

the swollen is better now actually, it returned to its normal look with the mouth closed and moved a little bit around...
Ill wait before feeding it again,

thanks for the reply I appreciate it! Im knew with anemones so i kinda freaked out hehe
 
HELP!

Im back wih some questions,
The small anemone as i said I fed it yesterday and when i woke up this morning it had spitted out the shrimp chunk i fed it it was sitting net to it when i woke up but the anemone is still in its place...
Also i have a another new bigger anemone which won attach it just moves along with the current, I turned off both of my powerheads so only the return pump from the sump is working, when i bought this big anemone it was attached and had a good color and everything, a couple of minutes ago I fed a small piece of shrimp which it ate, just to make it feel more comfortable so it would attach, right now its just sitting..

I have a 42gal display with a 15 gal sump, skimmer and a next to be refugium... Dont know much about my lighting I have a 10000K ocean sun and a 7000k white light.. Live rock and about inches of sand

Here are some pics
