Anemone help. My BTA is deflating

[rza007]

Hello everyone... Before I start to panic, I would like some advice.

I recently bought a RBTA on a large piece of LR. I acclimated it to
my tank with no problems. all water perams are fine. For the first day and a half, the anemone was healthy looking and fully open and eating shrimp. This morning, it looked healthy and open also.

this afternoon- slowly deflating and shrinking. Im guessing its moving but I have no idea. should I panic or wait and see? does anyone know what the problem is? could it be the new environment?

lighting is
2x65w PC
1x32w PC... this is the same lighting is was under when purchased.

all help is appreciated

wait and see what happens could be moving which is no need for alarm yet. If its eating and still open it should be fine. I have a BTA with no B that has been in my tank for months now and he eats fine

Mine deflate sometimes to the point that they look like they are dead. I think they are just pushing out waste, as I usualy see some shrimp come out. Just give it some time, I was wondering the same thing about that

Anemones are mostly water, and every once in a while they change the water in their tissue and deflate like this. It's completely normal, as long as it perks back up in a day or so.
