    It takes them time to acclimate to the new water. They will expell the water from previous tank. And take in new water. It will look good/bad good/bad good/bad. Do not feed for the first week they need all the energy they have to get this process done. Keep an eye on it. If it dies while your away it can create mayhem in your tank. Very hard anemone to keep.

    If the tank is too new and/or if water parameters are out of whack, no amount of feeding, etc., will help it.

    My tank is about a year old, and my parameters are good from my last check, but I'll re check tonight.

    I have a carpet and he is doing well. It did take him awhile to get acclimated to the tank. I feed mine froozen krill sometimes but i usually feed him brine shrimp from a turkey baster. Just suck some up and put it close to his mouth, he seems to eat it if my clowns dont first lol. But he does react to the krill.
