Anemone in cave.

[Spare time]

When it’s opened up it look just like your average nem. Doesn't have long tentacles. The cave comes out on the other side of the rock piles. I guess I’ll see if he’s moved by morning. I just didn’t know if I should go looking for him or not.

Does it have speckles on the underside?

Like on his foot? No solid color.

Testing will just put everything at ease. Want to make sure if any die off your levels aren't going through the roof.

Ok. I will test everything else tomorrow and let you know how everything comes out. I have mostly Red Sea tests. Are they accurate?

As far as I know. Only hear bad things about API.

Wait..you kept the sand? Oh god..test test test test.

I wanted to keep the tank exactly the same. We did a 50 gallon water change a few days before the move and cleaned the sand during that water change, moved all the rocks. Got all the sand good with the syphon.

These folk ain’t kidding re wacky behavior!

I have a stichodactyla tapetum that I loved observing every day. He was fine on his initial perch for months. Then one day just over a month ago it moved to a super shady spot in the back of the tank near where my clowns sleep. It looks full, healthy, and vibrant and reacts to things (even caught a shrimp that was bothering my duncan).

I was worried until I read what others said. And so there it has remained. He moves a little to the left, right, or higher, but not much. I’m thinking he likes the flow and gets enough light to be happy where he is. Plus I can’t really relocate him without hurting him, so just have to let him be.

I wish you good luck and health to your creatures.

I meant on the side underneath the tentacles.

Meh they are ok. They get completely sharted on in the forums here but they are ballpark. I've used dozens of their kits. The one that is completely useless is their phosphate as the lowest reading above 0 is 0.25 lol

They are still incredibly hard top read but I am colorblind so that makes testing extra fun for me XD

 

[kutcha]

if you turned the sand bed and cleaned it i would defiantly be testing your nitrites, nitrates, phosphates, and ammonia

 

[TannerManno]

I meant on the side underneath the tentacles.

I don’t believe so.

 

[Spare time]

I don’t believe so.

Ok. The reason I mentioned it is long tentacles just kinda roll around rather than crawl but most anemones crawl to where they want to go.

 

[TannerManno]

Well you guys were right. He back out and looking good.

 

[dvgyfresh]

You are fine, this is just like moving a tank you just happend to have it for the first time lol nems like higher nitrate levels than most people run I would aim for 10-20 ppm good luck!

 

[Jekyl]

Well you guys were right. He back out and looking good.

How did the parameters come out?

How did the parameters come out?

I haven’t tested. Just walked in the door when I took the picture. I’ll test in the morning. Worked late today.

How did the parameters come out?

Ok so I tested most of it.
Hannah Alk 10.5
Red Sea ph 8.0
Red Sea Nitrite 0
Red SeaNitrate 4
Red Sea Ammonia 0
Hannah phosphorus 200 I don’t think this test is working properly.

Just looked at the Reagant in my Hannah phosphorus checker it expired in 2018. No wonder the test was wack.
