    Okay, so I recently purchased a Sebae from my LFS. It's been doing okay, and has recently received the attention of one of my Tomato clowns. :) YouTube - Tomato Clownfish Hosting A Sebae Anemone

    In the video, you can see that it's opened up and very happy, however every morning (or almost every morning) it's super scrunched up, and won't reopen typically until the light is turned back on.

    Is this normal behavior? Also, is there a way I can try to keep it at least partially opened up so that the clown has a place to stay. It gets so small that the anemone crab is pretty much outside of it.

    Thanks!

    i think thats the way they expel waste and such.

    thats a normal behavior, my anemone does that all the time, there isnt a way to maintain it open, anemones do what ever they want to do :D

    how old is your tank?
