My RBTA was doing fine in my tank for a few days after putting him in but now he looks like this. Is he dying or is he still trying to get used to the tank? He is still attached to my rock work. My tank is roughly 6-7 months old.

Quick post. My anemone has been fine for 2 weeks now, opening & closing every day as normal, anchored itself to a spot it liked, eating normally, etc. Woke up today and it looks like this. I put it in a floating basket to make it easier to scoop our, in case it dies, but what could've caused...

Hey all, stumped. new to reefing - about 3.5 months in. I've got some clown, firefish, fire shrimp, pincushion urchins, and cardinals. (nothing fancy yet) RedSea 850 with good water flow, working through a water change because I was an idiot getting started and used tap instead of Rodi (which I...

I recently bought a anemone for my 25 gallon tank. When I placed him in my tank he accidentally moved himself too a place with no light after reemerging he didn’t looks good after maybe 2 weeks he still didn’t get much better!! I’m currently moving him into my 55 gallon to see if he thrives...

Hello everyone, My BTA is a recent addition. Tank Parameters are optimal and he has moved once now to this spot. I think the flow was too much the first time and he moved to where you seem him now. He seems to be spread over this ornament that my wife really wanted, much to my dismay. Is it...

I just got this pair of clowns. (Pics because I love them) they're the first fish in my first reef tank. I don't like the idea of them basically being homeless and I want to get them a nem ASAP. (I understand they don't need it but I want to give them one) When's the soonest I can add one?

Hi, I just joined here and my tank build is waiting for approval so I apologize if this is too much info. I have had my reef tank for about a year now. I have other corals that I have had for since November that are doing really well (zoas, mushrooms, antheas, daisy star polyps, green clove...

Hello, I recently went to two of my LFS's and bought 2 cleaner shrimps from one store and 3 starter corals as well as a BTA from the other store. I have placed all of the corals and the shrimps into a 20 gallon QT in an attempt to not introduce ich/velvet into my DT. I was wondering how long I...

Recently purchased Condy anemone from LFS and had to purchase the rock it was on because it would not release from the rock in store. He hung out in the QT tank for about 4 days. We DID NOT want the rock in our DT. Didn't want to risk any hitchhikers making their way into our tank. Tried to...

So I had the wrong light (the one that came with the 75 gal tank..oops!) and a month later he turns transparent. I got a new light a few days ago hoping this nem will recover. I got the Current USA - Orbit Loop Dual IC Pro with Bluetooth app. What is the best percentages for the light intensity...

My brother knew I started a salt water tank and was trying to be sweet by sending my the gift of this anemone … I’ve had to tank for about two months. I have two clowns and a sea urchin that are doing great, But I know NOTHING about anemones and I’m worried from the threads I’ve seen that this...

Hello, I came home this evening to see my tank was a little cloudy and my anemone was caught in my wavemaker. Stupidly I thought it would be fine to leave without a guard on (lesson learnt!) I just hope I can have some assurances on the anemone itself. Do you think it will survive? Thanks in...

He dosnt want to come out of the bag. How do I get him out?

Help! I was on my way out to work this morning and I found my anemone stuck on the intake hole (I have a Fluval 13.5, it was stuck is that little hole that leads to the back filter chambers) I tried to pull it out and it ripped in half. I am horrified and so upset, is there anyway to save it...

I got this anemone yesterday and he seems to be doing really well. He has stayed open since I got him and has found a spot that he seems to like. This morning I noticed that he appears to have something on his foot. I have no idea what it is but assume it may just be poop? Can someone please...

Hey all!! I have a BTA that has been in my tank for about 2 weeks now. It does this shrinking thing 3-5 times a day, and each time I feed it. New to Anemones and the hobby in general, just wanted to verify that this is OK/normal or see if I am disturbing it in some way. Thanks!! Tyler

I need some real help here. I have a red sea 125 g tank, that has been cycled for almost two years now. I added a sea anemone three months ago, over three months, I added 4 in total. I am down to two only. One of the two is acting ill and I don't understand what I am doing wrong. My water...
