i think hes doing ok now. hes more full and open. water params seem to be ok, pH never fluctuates, temps holding at about 78degF. i did a 20% water change (i always use RO water for changes) to lower nitrates (if there were any) to reduce any stress he might be getting. salinitys around 1.023.

Also he seems to be slowly spitting up...well...sand. i made the mistake of putting him in there with my old sebae who was around 4 inches long and seemed to like kicking up sand mountains, so maybe its simply spitting up what it was choking on.

also, do anemones tend to close//shrivel up after you turn out the light for the night time much like my corals?

anyway i'm still relatively new to the hobby (9 years freshwater experience, few months of marine), yet have done quite a bit of research so i think i've got a slight hang of it now. i can safely say i've only lost one blue legged hermit crab in my saltwater endeavors.
