    Now I already posted asking if it looked healthy a day or two ago and I have seen it expel waste so I know what that looks like... To sum it up it looked like this at 2 oclock YouTube - Sebae Anemone and now it looks like this :([​IMG] and everything is testing good :/

    its mouth is still closed it looks like. I normally dont worry as long as the mouth is closed and the insides (looks like spaghetti) are not hanging out. I've seen them get like that occasionally and the next morning be normal

    What kind of lights? 5 watts per gallon means nothing. We need to know what kind of lighting.

    +2, the anemone didn't look like it was on death's door in the picture.
