    I have a seabea anemone, and have had it for about three weeks now. and I noticed that it inflateted its mouth today and made it really big and then it would just deflate. What does it mean. it seems to be doing well

    i think sometimes they do that to poop, ihaven't noticed it on our sebae but i somtimes the rim of the mouth looks a bit puffed up.

    My BTA does that too. Sometimes it looks like JJ Walker lol. Just make sure it's not spitting out stringy stuff.
