This Anemone hitchhiked on a piece of live rock. I want to keep him alive. I have two regular lights one is the full blue spectrum light. I have been chopping up shrimp very small and hand feeding him. I am feeding him every other day. At times he is very large at the base like he is full of water and other times he is very flat. Any help would be appreciated.

i am guessing the tank is still cycling, also i think by saying regular lights you mean fluros. this will not be enough unless you are running around 150 watts, with actinic supplements. If i was you i would ring a local LFS (saltwater) and ask them if they could hold if for you.

Best idea, if you dont want to see him dead, is to either get better lights or have your LFS hold him in a better tank till you do. Might be a good idea anyhow because it dosen't sound like your tank is cycled.

But this is just one mans opinion.

It will probably die if it is not put in a well established tank soon, Drop him off at the LFS, get a credit not or ask them to hold it for you.
