How does it look otherwise? Is it still eating and acting normally otherwise? If so, then I wouldn't be too concerned. Mine would lay on their sides at night and look like they were dead.

Yea he is eating and swimming around fine just late in the day (within 1 hr of lights out) he just lays down on his side in the sand at the front of the tank. Just resting I guess lol

Hey whats the best thing (non chemical) to help rid the tank of glass anemones?

Depends upon what you are willing to go through to get rid of them. Several fish options are available, all with their own risks and problems. These include several butterflyfishes, including copperbands, etc. There's also the bristletail filefish, which I have. It is slowly picking them off. The filefish is a lot hardier than the butterflies, though, and is reasonably reef safe. There's also peppermint shrimp, which are hit-or-miss in most cases, especially seeing how the wrong species is very commonly imported. Then there is the sure-fire Berghia verrucicornis nudibranch. This one is a bit intensive, since you have to pretty much have a separate tank to alternate the rocks in with the little guys. They don't do well in the main tank with full water flow. The main thing beyond that is to make sure you keep introducing the egg masses in with the rocks to make sure you've got plenty of them to chow down on the Aiptasia. Beyond that, you are pretty much only left with chemical measures, all of which work, but are strictly temporary.
