Hi, I have a purple tip anemone. I've had him for about a month now. He's been thriving since. But literally 5 minutes ago, he closed up!
My water parameters are fine, however, I did re-aquascape my tank yesterday and moved him to the far side (he was in the middle before).


Heres a pic of him/her

Any inputs would be great.

Woops. I just took a look at my anemone again. This time, he has closed up completely. No tentacles to be seen.

Ummm... My anemones do that every single day... There's nothing at all in the world to worry about. He'll open again within a few hours.

They just do that, LTAs are weird like that.
They get startled easy too, I've seen mine completely dissapear into the sand, which brings me to, why is your LTA on rock?
He should be at sandbed.

I think its a Condy anemone,not a Long Tentecal.
