Question
i have a anemone that was full in my tank with a bi color angle. The angle started messing with it and it closed up. Ithan moved it to my reef tank and it still is closed up like a ball i also have a sabee anemone in that tank that is fine and all my coarl is doing fine.can you please help me.

Answer
Hey Philip,
How long has it been closed? Anemones can do this for days to recover, heal, protect, digest, etc. Do you see physical damage other than it has retracted/deflated? Without the answers to the questions I ask, or seeing the anemone its hard to be precise. Im sorry. I would just observe him very closely for a couple of days, see if he starts to adjust now that youve moved him. Be very careful though. A dead anemone left in your system can be extremely toxic to other inhabitants. So just watch and wait. Good luck.
