      Maybe it's trying to protect itself from that fish.
      Fish are people too, they just have gills.

        Have you tried posting the same question on the MarshReef.com.....??

        Sorry, I can't be of any more help.

          check your water quality and have you changed lighting lately? What kind of flow do you have in the tank?

              Water quality is good. I haven't changed the flow or lighting since I got it 2 months ago. It has been great up untill a couple of days ago.

                The fish I have in the tank are as follows:
                1 blue/green chromis
                2 black/white clown fish
                1 mandrian fish

                I really don't think the chromis or the mandrian is hurting the anemone. Maybe the clowns or the crabs.

                  have you been feeding it at all? does it open at all or is it just staying closed 24/7?

                    I've been doing some research and everything I'm reading on anemones closing up like that says it's normal. They say it will close up after eating sometimes, and at night to sleep. I also read that if it is sick and dying, it will feel tacky to the touch. And if it starts oozing anything, get it out immediately because it's decaying and will really crap up the tank.

                      When you say oozing. Please elaborate. It oozes long stringy stuff from time to time from
                      It's "mouth" I was told that was how it poops.

                        poop shouldn't look oozy, it should be more solid or 'dry' if that makes sense.

                          It will look like it's disintegrating. Definitely different from pooing, I would think.

                              I just ran across this site, and she really seems to know her stuff. There is so much info here on anemone's that I haven't even put a dent in it yet. Check it out...she seems very committed to the health and care of anemone. http://www.karensroseanemones.net/
