I am new to anemones and reefing for that matter. This guy was doing great and now he is inflated. He settled down in the base of the rock work immediately when I got him. He stayed for about two weeks and then went roaming. He landed on the top left encrusted rock and stayed tight for a day. He has now returned to his "home" but has a bloated appearance.
Is this a "normal" appearance for an anemone? I know they are living creatures that do as they please, but this makes no sense.
I know it expels zooxanthellae from time to time, but the day before it moved, it seemed to have a softer form "ghosting" out of it along with the harder used form. I have tried to feed it pieces of silversides, mysis shrimp, and flakes. It does not eat, which leads me to believe that it's kitchen is working.
What's Going On???
