Well, from what I have been told this is pretty normal.

I drip acclimated it for about 2 hours, then put him in the tank at the top where lighting was good and it stuck its foot on really quick!

I'm assuming it was fed before he shipped as he spit out some mysis while acclimating. It also goes from big bubble tips to long then arms every 10 minutes or so, is this normal? When should I feed it its first silverside?

This is my first anemone, so any tips would be great!

That bta needs fed. It is not looking very healthy and will need to be nursed back to health. You should try feeding it krill, and silversides daily. Are the tentacles very sticky when you touch it? Does it take the food to its mouth or does it just lay there. The fact that it attached its foot is a very good sign. Keep us updated.

Well, that was my first and probably last groupbuy unfortunately.

I came home and it looks like it turned inside out like it puked it's guts out or something and looked like it was disolving. I took it out of the tank and put it into a bucket with water from the tank and it gradually got worse untill it looked like a clump of slime.

Anyway to contact these people and see about a refund? Butchdawg, since it was on your card and the have no idea who I am, would you have to call, or do you think I could?

I'll be out of town till Tuesday, so I won't even get a chance to till then.

This sucks =(

I could be totally wrong and if so please correct me, but I didn't think Green BTA had pink tips. I thought that was charerastic of other anemones.
