Bi-Polar Anemone

[JohnnyDanger]

So I bought another green bubble tip and I have no idea whats wrong with him.. Every day he wakes up and he's huge and fully extended.. Then about 4 hours later he shrivels up and turns into a droopy sad looking guy with a wide open white mouth.. And at night his body is huge but his tentacles are deflated.. Anybody know whats going on with this guy?? I included some pictures..


This is him 4 PM yesterday


This is him this morning at 11.. Lights come on at 10..

What are your water parameters?
Did you acclimate it to your lighting?
What kind of lighting?

+1 BJ my first thought was acclimation to the lights. Sounds like it just gets too much light during the day.

I have a 55 gallon tank with two Radions both set to natural and only 50% brightness.. He is off to the side of the rock and he's still not even getting full light on his whole body.. My parameters are all perfect, PH, Nitrates, Phosphates, Calcium, KH.. Must be the lighting..

That's probably way too much light for it so soon. I'd try dialing back the settings and see how it does, then Slowly increasing them.

Brian and BJ have it covered.
