    So i got a green bubble tip anemone in the mail about a week ago and i can not tell if it is still just acclimating or if it is a goner. his foot is still holding strong but he placed himself on the bottom of a rock getting no light and his mouth appears to be getting bigger and bigger. any steps i can take to make the little guy feel better or do i just wait and see if he bounce back?

    let it be, the worst thing you can do is touch it and move it around. as long as it has a firm hold its a good sign. a picture would help but it sounds like its just acclimating. again let it be.

    I was worried about my RBTA, he constantly moved around my tank, upper part usually, getting near my PH's... I was totally worried. But eventually he settled down in a piece of rock nowhere near any of my corals (thank God) and just loves it there. It took like 1 month for him to find a place he liked. Just give him some time to settle, try not to touch him, and he should settle when he likes the flow and lighting.
