I got my Nem around 4:30 pm on friday, he's been wondering around ever since..
I woke up the mooring and watcher him for some time, he rolled onto a rock that is dead center in the middle of the tank and right under the lights

Today I was reading http://www.karensroseanemones.net/ and saw sime similarities with the sick rose section.

My nem came with very short tentacles I had fed him last night and from what I could tell he took the small chunk of shrimp with no problem

However, since I was worried about his health and his new spot I started watching him about 5 minutes before my lights turned on.
It was standing tall and looked like some of the tips were gonna start bubbling out

lights flicked on and almost immediately he deflated

a couple minutes he started letting out a white substance (not from his mouth, it looks like from his tentacles

I'm kinda worried about this..

The pictures are blurry, i'll try to get some better ones up soon

The white"stuff" starts to bubble ou where that dark tentacle

is on him

Well, while I was writing this post the white bubble stuff went away, he still does have some small dark tentacles

i fed the fish and dropped a couple small peices of shrimp in the tank so the CuC would leave the nem alone

I also dropped a small piece of shrimp into the tentacles of the nem and from what I can tell he extracted his stomach and got it.. i'm still worried about the clown biting him though

It's all apart of the grooming process. Relax, and watch.
