What do you think of my LTA - Day 6

[forrealb50]

I've had my large 12"+ LTA anemone almost a week. Seems to be doing good. Twice now I noticed brown/black stuff which I was told is waste coming out of it's mouth. However, along with the waste the stomach of the anemone comes out a little. This stomach is out and visible for probably a few minutes max (see picture below). Also, the mouth has not closed up completely but is not gaping open. The LTA wasn't interested in a small piece of krill I just tired to feed it. The krill did stick to the tentacles for a while but it was eventually released the shrimp took over from there.

What do you think?

Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks alright to me.

It'll probably take a little longer to see if it's unhappy (possibly a couple weeks).
Your parameters look good, but STABILITY is key. How is your temperature stability?

Lowest temp 79 and highest 81 with digital gauge. Towards the end of the day it gets up to 81 and by the next morning before the lights go back on it's down to 79. 12 on and 12 off. I wouldn't think a 2 degree drop in 12 hours would be stressful.

Give it a couple of days to acclimatise to your system. Mine took 4 days before settling in.
