Anemone problem?

[fluffer]

Hi all! I've got a Florida condi in my 20 gal tank. In the morning my condi is full size all pretty like. Later in the day though, it is all collapsed and dead looking. It comes back to full size the next day, and so on, and so on. I leave my lights on for 12 hours a day, could I be leaving my lights on too long? That seems to be the only change day to day. All chem tests are within specs. I feed my clown (only tankmate) frozen brine, and I heard condi's like shrimp, so he shouldn't be starving right? Any advice/help would be great!

Cheers!

Anemone's are hard animals to be kept. In addition to just food they are high light animals. What type of lights do you have on the tank?

I have two 55 watt pc's on my 20 gal should be enough.

sometime they do ball up a little let me ask you a couple of questions if you don't mind. How long has your tank been set up what are you feeding your condy and how often. Is the clown paying a lot of attention to it if so the condy won't like that at all. It's from the atlantic clowns are from the pacific. How are you water tests?
