Hey guys for about 2 months now my rock anemone has had what seems to be a prolaspe mouth. It started when I fed him a larger than normal piece of Shrimp and it's never went back in. Some days it's barely noticeable and others it's bad. He still acts healthy and still eats. Anything I can do to fix it or is it just something he's going to have to live with?

Try the clownfish and anemone forum. pics probably helpful. from what I've read a prolapsed mouth might be showing stress. When you post there list details on your tank.

My big rock nem has looked like this since I got it a year ago.
It eats regularly and has grown about 1.5" in diameter. Currently about 5" across.
