Question Anemone all wrinkled

Since the last post about my anemone all he really wanted I think is some food. He sure does like to eat a lot.

There has been a slight change in his habitat. There is some green hair algae growing around him and I changed power heads. There is some decent flow in my tank now.

Question is could either of these changes cause him to wrinkle? I mean he still looks full, but just wrinkled.

Thanks.

Um, You should have gotten a younger permanent press anemone



jk, I'm not an anemone expert but my experience is that it's a normal part of their routine to expand and contract. If your water parameters are in line, it's color is good, and it's taking food then I wouldn't worry too much about them wrinkles.

He's probably taking a crap.

Seriously.

Have you tested the water? The tank appears to be high in nutrients, but that's impossible to know visually. Any measurable nitrate/phosphate levels?
