My Sabae Anemone!!!!

I have a small sabae anemone in my tank and yesterday she completely moved to the other side on the tank and she shrivled up, and looks a little discolored, but she is still alive. So I called the pet store and asked them if she was dead...and they said that she may be dead or she wants to find a new spot in the tank. So i went ahead and moved her to where the light is hitting her and she stayed their, but she is not opening up. I want to know what i can do?? :-/

CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME???!!!!

 

dont ever move an anemone unless its detached from rock, as you may hurt its Foot. Its probably just moving around for a more comfortable place

 

she was detached, but shes discolored, and then when my daylight turns on she opens up a little but not completely..

 

what kind of lights and tank parameters?

 

i dont know ... i got a oceanic biocube and i havent changed any of the lights or anything....they did tell me that the lights in the bio cube are not all that great...and i really dont know about this because i just started with this salt water fish tanks stuff about 2 months ago so im just learning....

 

i dont think thats enough light for an anemone. and 2 months isnt enough time for anemone purchase. I would return it if possible. im guessing PC lights which i dont think could support an anemone unless there were Alot of them or anemone was placed right at top of tank :-/ Usually halides or T5's are needed for anemones. stick with easy corals and work way up as you upgrade......

 

Good advice AB,
Lights and maturity of tanks are a common problem for anemonys ,
have you ever fed it?

 

i think it may be your lights, she probly needs more then what you got

 

I had a LTA with pc for about 8 yrs and never had a problem. I dont think she has pc's(power compacts) but instead the cheaper ones that come with the tank.

 

yea ive fed it mysis shrimp and the liquid coral food 3 x's a week
