Condy

could someone help me...?
Ok i just bought a condy a 2 days ago and i acclimated it properly. It was very dark brown , green, purple, and pink, so i assumed it was healthy. After i put it in my tank it looked normal like the other i have had in the past. then the next day it was shriveled and expeling waste, but it was doing something unusual... it was almost....smoking. a smoke-like substance was coming from the mouth. i was wondering if this is ok or not. i was either thinking it was a reproductive process or if even possibly expelling it sybiotic algae, zooxanthallae because it has lost its brown color and is now more green, purple and pink. it is still shriveled and has seemed to have gotten weak. it cat quite hold its self up but it has a grip on LR. does anyone have any tips or anythign to say? the people in Reef Keepers dont seem to have any kind of answer.

ok i have had several anemones before and had almost no porblems, i love them and i honestly dont think they are hard to keep. my lighting is approriate and my tank is like a year old. at the LFS it was in sand and thats what it was attatched to, there was sand on its foot when i got it. and it seemed perfectly healthy.. i drip acclimated it over a period of four hours. his mouth was gaping earlier but its is mostly closed up. what should i do? any advice?

i thought you were supposed to..? i have done it before for all anemones that i have had before and have had no problem

ok well then i know for next time, hopefully there wont be a next time though.....so now that i know what i might have done wrong what can i do to fix it? what can i do for it to not die?
