    just got myself a green tipped condy anemone, 4 days agoo. anyways, in the last 4 days i have had it, it has closed up completely at around the same time every evening, is this normal? it opens up again around an hour later looking healthy and happy, when i first put it in it moved, but only 2 inches to the right.

    merci

    they deflate to exchange water and flush out their waste, its normal. they also can "get full" and not want anymore light so they deflate to reduce surface area. the big things to worry about for Nems are if their mouth is hanging open and if the are no longer sticky (don't check if their sticky unless you have strong reason to suspect a problem as repeated touching can damage nem, and make your hand tingle)
