Anemone health concern (BTA)
My Bubble Tip Anemone and my Teardrop Ocellaris (Amphiprion Ocellaris) have been in my tank for 2 weeks now. From the very start, the BTA didn't look too great, as the mouth would be exposed, which I think is from stress. And overall its tentacles are skinny and not bubbly. I know somethings wrong with it, I just don't know what. I'm 99% sure it's not sick nor has any diseases as color wise it looks ok to me. The water chemistry is also fine, and all the tank inhabitants don't mess with it. I was curious if any anemone experts could help me (if its something obvious). Also, yesterday my clownfish showed signs of interest in it, which got me really excited. He only goes near it as it gets dark, so I'm assuming it's for protection; though when it does get dark, the BTA almost completely closes up leaving the poor fish bumping into it hoping that it would open.
