Anemone

[Viperboy]

Ok so i got a haitian (sp?) anemone which is supposed to be a begginer one and one of the easier ones to take care of ..... well i heard where u put them in the tank is not where they will stay so when i put it in i put it in a spot i thought it would like .... but it still ended up moving under a rock ledge cave thing where it gets no light ..... its been there for 2 days and when i woke up today all the tenticles were inside of it and it is just a red ball ..... does this mean its dead or is it not getting enough light? .... should i move it .... take it out .... feed it ? ..... help ..... TIA

I would take it back. They need to be introduced to a mature tank, of about 6-12 months, or so. They will also need to be light acclimanted, from what have read. Sorry I can't be of more assistance, I have never had one. Hopefully some one might be along to help.

Anenomies need a very mature tank. IMO they need to be a year old.
