hello

 

i got a healthy bubble tip anemone on friday

 

since i put him in the tank, he went hiding into a cave that is very dark, no light gets in it.

 

during the day he is open but at night he closes up like a tube, (kind of like when a flower close up)

 

now,

i have tried to take him out of the cave but he attached himself so tightly that i can't.

 

 

what do i do and why is he or she doing this?

He's just getting used to your system. Might just be getting acclimated to your lights or another small difference in your system. Nems generally like to have their feet in the shadows then stretch out into the light and it's not uncommon for them to close up at night. Give it some time and it'll move out into the open. Might feed it along the way to ensure it stays healthy.

You should have a thread Isaacharry! Much harder to give answers without knowing more details on your system. Asking these one-thread questions is hard.
