titus'reef Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It just open up as it should. Nothing wrong with it. Anemones do strange things. I have one just like yours and after it split The body became green but after a few weeks it became more blueish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewey McLovit Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Looks normal to me! Nice score. Make sure you feed feed feed! Some folks can get away without feeding, so they say, but keeping them well feed really does help, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 There color is always more vibrant when they are closed, once they take in water and expand that color gets spread out. IMO yours is a little bleached out, IE it does no have as much color as it should. After it has been in your tank and presumably happier than it was in it's last tank it will color up more. I would say in four months the color of your nem when it's open will much more closely represent the color it is now when closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv951 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 That nem looks perfectly happy to me. Its a good sign when they open up like that. It means that they are happy in their spot. I have GBTA with purple tips. The tips were bright vibrant purple in the store, but it was more closed up. After a bit in my tank, the purple has faded a bit because it is so much more open than before. It has grown by about 10 times in size and I have fed it maybe 5 times in 7 months. His clown feeds him sometimes too, but only for the last two months. Don't rush to feed them unless you want them to get huge. After its been in the tank, give it a feeding and then just keep an eye on it. Ohhh and a couple days after you feed, you might notice it shriveling up to like 1/20th of its size. Don't worry, its just pooping. When it does, it will have crazy vibrant colors though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Looks like a great 'nem. Have you seen this page before? http://www.karensroseanemones.net/ If not, it is a great site to read all about anemones. She does have some strange ideas, but there are a few gems there too. Especially the one about covering powerheads. http://www.karensroseanemones.net/coverpowerheads.htm dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
