Just wanna say sorry if im asking a lot of questions.. Just wanna make sure bta is doing ok and that im doing the right thing to take care of it.. Its my first nem thats why..
 
is this the deflating or the releasing of waste for the nem.. it just got me worried when i got home and saw the nem like this..
 
here is when hes eating freeze dried krill.. and heres pics when the lights are off..
 
Its normal to inflate and deflate like that. Its mouth will often indicate an issue. If you see the mouth open for long periods of time then I would get concerned.

Keep asking questions.....I think half of what I have learned for my own tank has been from reading the answers to others questions....things I should have asked but wasn't smart enough to ask.

+ 1000000000000000000 and make sure to do some of your own research on the info you get too!

Anemones will inflate and deflate periodically because they are doing their own version of a water change. They are purging the water inside of them and filling it up with fresh water from the rest of the tank. If this happens every once in a while its fine, if it is happening daily or multiple times a day it indicates that the anemone doesn't like something about the water it is filling up with or it is having an internal issue that it wants to expel.
