i have had it for a week in a ten gallon.
it was fine intell my mom tried to clean my tank and she took it off the rock.
i tried moving back but it would'nt stay.
when i woke up it was at the bottom of the tank and healthy, so i decided to leave it there.
next thing i know all the ends where shrunken up and the mouth was showing.
i am conserned and took it out of the tank and put it in a cotainer.
i did this because if it was dying i would contaminate my water plus a bunch of stuff was coming off of it.
what is happing?
is it dying?

Dont curse... mods do not like it! :)

It is most likely alright but will not extend again until it reattaches.

I obviously cant tell for sure but it def looks to be like an unhappy anemone that just need to find his footing. When he does make sure and feed him.
Could take him a few days

i'd tell your mom to never touch your tank again, it doesn't need to be cleaned like freshwater

I would say thanks to Mom who seemed to be just trying to help. I am quite sure she had no malintent. Good luck with the nem!
