talk to me about your anemone

[heathlindner25]

okay so I bought a bubble tip last week and in the fish store he was under fluorescent lamps, I have leds. he was acting normal the first day or 2 then he decided to crawl into a cave, when the lights are off he's big and beautiful when the lights come back on he shrinks up. is he just adjusting to the lights? my take is 9 months old, calcium is 460, ph is 8.0, alkalinity is 4 on seachem, nitrates around 1.5 ppm, what temperature is 79 degrees do they just act weird at first, when getting use to a tank?

I would ASSUME that its is the light that is bothering him.

If your water parameters are ok he should move to a comfortable location over time.....

I would agree with Snow but, when you say your alkalinity is 4 are you saying mg/l or dKh? If it is dKh it is way low.

Mg, what did yours do the first week or 2?

This is normal behavior for an anemone.
