Default Carpet Anemone
I just purchased a 6 inch carpet anemone and he looked great in the store and looked great last night but this morning when I came down stairs the sun light was creeping in the tank and he was open (looking good). Then when I turned on the light and came back down in an hour or two he was looking poor. His mouth is hanging open with it's insides coming out, body is not filled and looking bad. Anyone know if this is normal, or anything I should do? I have a t5 system and I am running 2 10K's and two blue t5 attiniks. Also, where can I get silversides, because I called BigY and they didn't have them?


_________

Sincerely
Tom

What lighting do you have on your tank. Also what lighting was it under in the store?


How old is your tank, What are your parameters?

Carpets are one of the more light demanding. But in a 72 that should be enough. Even though I would alway recommend MH lighting

It could be adjusting. It takes a bit

IC well I hope that is the case, about how long do you think it will stay in this state? Also, what should I feed it, or what is recommended, I've herd raw silversides but I don't know where to get them, or is there something else that is easier to feed them and better for them?
