Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi,
Saturday I bought a small Heteractis Malu purple tip. When I put him into the tank on the bottom in the corner, he immediately jumped up and went into a small cave more or less out of sight. I left him there for a little while and then figuring, we could not see him, I moved him towards the centre of the tank. He in turn laid there and seemed very unhappy. I have moved him to a few places (maybe too many times) and then I looked up his species at CentralPet.com and they gave me all the information on how to take care of him. It said he requires high light and average flow. So I put him on a rock exposed to the light with a minimal flow. Again, he seems to be very very unhappy. He does not seem to be opening up. He has not closed up completely but my poor little guy does not look good.
Please help. What should I do? It is my first anemone and I need all your experience.
Thank you.
