    I've had this bta for several months and have never seen it act this way. The picture isn't very good due to the lights being off for the night, but it looks to have a longer skinny body. It normally closes up at night but not in this way. I am worried that it may be dying so any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hard to say. Sometimes you have bad days right? So do anemones I'm sure.

    I was not home and my girl friend posted this.
    The anemone is acting strange along with everything else and while I was away on a trip she needed help

    As for the nem, it looks like it just pooped or is changing out its water right now. If it continues, I would be alarmed.

    As for everything else acting funny. What are you params right now? What heater do you have? May be a faulty Marineland stealth pro zapping the tank like many of us have been dealing with lately.

    Does your livestock react to light? What are your fish doing?

    what kind of emergency is this?

    is a valid question

    when the post 1st appeared
    there was an image and the title was hyyggcj or something similar
    (I checked the edit, so have access to information that subsequent posters may not have seen)

    OK so you good lady was posting in your absence so the fact she got a picture up
    is a credit to her

    but other members of the site, cannot read minds and as such
    the question "what kind of emergency is this?" seems a valid question to me

    if it had been typed "What kind of emergency is this!"
    then I could understand the confusion or maybe the offence taken

    but the question mark indicated it was a question

    and with a pic of a nem, a title hxxbl and no written text at the time in the post

    it was a very valid question, at that time

    Steve

    Anemones appear different in the night than then do in the day time – could it be that you or your girlfriend are just now viewing the anemone in the evening for the first time?

    Not having the benefit of viewing your pet over time as you have, I would say that from the picture it looks happy and healthy.

    The OP continues with how their other livestock is also acting weird. If it was just the nem, that would make sense.
