    Just put a new RBT anemone in my 46. Has good color, not fully inflated. Started to move, but stopped and started this. The only thing that looks odd is the mouth. It is protruding out of the center about a quarter of an inch. White in color. Is this stress from the move? Did not have this when I brought it home.

    Most likely just acclimating, they do all sorts of strange stuff when acclimating.

    If your parameters are in check and water quality is good than I would wait and watch.

    Or you could post an image if you like.
