• anemone needs a hint

The anemone has burrowed its head into the ground. Who knows if this is its usual behavior or if something is bothering it? Recently, it has been swallowing squid and then spitting it out. Maybe it is sick?

And can we have a photo to make it clearer for us, with a head in the sand or a foot? And what about the aquarium, and what is there?

there is all sorts of things, V=100L of course, the photo can only show the sand and the funnel in it I dug, and it’s sitting there - it dove in headfirst

A month ago, I thought the snails would climb in and it would be feng shui. I planted it next to the snails in the corner by the stone, and it sat there until yesterday. Yesterday, it started to hide, so I took it and repotted it because I thought the snails might be stressing it out; they were digging themselves a burrow.

The treatment is still ongoing. Today it was decided to bathe in Lugol's solution, using 5 drops of pharmacy Lugol in 200 ml of water for 20 minutes. I will repeat this a couple more times. If I'm doing something wrong, please stop me before it's too late.

It looks fine, the mouth isn't turned inside out. How long has she been in the aquarium?

In the aquarium for 1.5 months, it looked better, was fully expanded, twice as big, and the tips of the tentacles were blue. I think maybe it swallowed a polychaete or that one bit it, as it lived nearby and would come out during feeding, trying to grab a piece.

The reef has been up for 4 months, the current is moderate, the light is bright as far as I can tell by eye. The volume, of course, can't be fixed, and I'll figure something out with the sand—I’ll pile it up. She lived for a month without any problems, eating and everything, and then suddenly she got worse. She was swallowing the squid and then spitting it back out. Now she doesn't hide her head, but her skin has wrinkled, her mouth is open, but her insides haven't come out. So I won't bathe her, and tomorrow I'll set up a little grotto under her foot and wait and hope. Regarding Lugol's solution, I read that it can be used with glycerin, but if not, then not.
