Bubble Tip Acclimation

I just got back from the LFS and I brought with me a fantastic looking bubble tip. When I put it in the acclimation tank and started the drip it immediately closed up. All of my chems are well within range. Only think I can think of is that it's severly stressed? Any speedy answers? Been on the drip for 15-20 minutes.

 

normal, don't sweat it to much just keep up what your doing, I'd check the temp on the water in it's bucket too, sometimes on a slow drip in a coldish room the temp gets to low so keep an eye on that

 

Sweet, thanks Iraf, kudos! It's perked up a tiny bit and the temp is fine, it's in the kitchen away from the central air. I also couldn't resist this juvenile butterfly. He's doing fine. Anyways, thanks!

 

drip acclimation is not need with any anemone. Anemone's aren't that affected by salinity and changes in ph as long as the ph is in the appropriate range. When an anemone is introduced to a new system, it will expel all of the water within it's body (and that's alot) and draw in new water, hence shriveling up. This is why most online companies ship anemones in very little water. (for an example, think of the anemone's that get stuck in tidepools. When the water evaporates from tidepools, the salinity of this water and ph change fairly rapidly. Anemone's can withstand this) Good luck with your beautiful bubble tip.
