I do hope so, Tony. It's definitely doing something different, though. It retracted QUITE a bit during the night....and it's bunched up quite tightly.
Question: how much do you feed your gigantea? How often, what and how much? I haven't been feeding mine very much, but have fed it sporadically. The clownfish also grabs chunks of mysis and shoves it into the anemone sometimes during feeding time. I don't observe if the anemone actually ingests it, though. Now I'm stressed!!!

I feed mine a squirt of mysis every day or two. Like maybe 12-20 actual individual mysids. I have to feed mysis every day for my CBB since that's the only food he eats and I'd prefer him not to starve. So I take a package of PE mysis, lay it out on a glass cutting board, and slice and dice until the whole thing is in 1cm squares or thereabouts. I then take one of these 1cm cubes and that's the daily mysis allotment for all my tanks, with about half reserved for the CBB (he knows that when I come with the turkey baster that I've got something for him - he has a spot he goes to and waits for me to shoot a couple mysids at a time for him). But yeah, basically, unless I run out the gigantea's get at least one squirt of mysis per day.
I've kind of held the view (in general, not just with these things) that smaller feedings more often is probably mimics the natural cycle a little better than one generous feeding less often. YMMV of course

Drew Is it pooping maybe? I have been feeding mine every other day or so. I just purchased some organic tiger prawns from Safeway and cut a chunk off the size of there mouths and then soak it in selcon for the afternoon in the fridge and give it to them just before lights out. after talking with Tony i may ramp up the feeding on the Yellow one to daily untill i see an improvement with his stuby tentacles.Maybe your guy is just trully hungry.

Yeah...mine has seemed quite happy on the bottom! Until during the night sometime last night. Also, as I left for work, I think it was on the move again. Not sure....definitely makes me nervous.
And I think you may be right--I probably need to feed more. I'll try the shrimp!
