    I too have anemone for past 1 month, I think it's common for them to close and open tentacles. Mine do it during evening hours while moving..

    Thats not entire true. LED's do have a lifespan. Granted it is like 5 years, and after that I think its around up to 30% light potency lost. 50,000 hours I think is estimated for current production CREE's.

    your tank could be too young for a nem expecially if its your first, its good to wait 10 months to a year

    Yes..when they move, they detach themselves and fold tentacles and move. Mine has red spot underneath.
