    So my bubble tip anemone scared the crap out of me this morning. I have had him about a week. I got home from work this morning and went to feed the fish. The poor guy was shrunk down and had spit up some mucus. The part that threw me for a loop was he didn't lose any color. He was still a nice green color. I just left him alone and he inflated while I was sleeping. I have some clowns coming in this week so maybe that will help cheer him up.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Congrats on your new anemone.

    Anemones will inflate and deflate regularly and often, simple water exchange.

    What it expelled was undigested food. I would not feed it for a week or so.

    Yeah did a bunch of reading and wasn't planning on feeding it for a while. I want him to get nice and happy.
