Some is its tenticls are getting green like and stringy. Just now it retracted all the way. I did notice that my algae eater had dropped some sand on it. All my parameters are fine. It is in a 135g with 2 120w full spectrum led fixtures.

Mine gets stringy & dark. Poops then reflates back to normal. I've had it around 2 yrs now.

It doesn't look bad to me. Some times they just get funny for a few days. expelling waste, like Paul said, or just something they do.

I had a little of the diatom brown algae because I changes my rocks around and disturbed the sand. Hopefully it will clear itself up soon.

Ok so today he looks a lot better. I was just worried because his long tentacles started to turn all green.

Some anemones are more sensitive to small changes. I had an anemone that was doing great then closed up for a week and open back up. Turns out my nitrates were bothering it. Easy fix.

That's what color they are supposed to be.

I know what they usually look like but some of its tentacles were shriveled up and stringy. Not like they usually are.
