Anenome problem

[jpontier212]

I get home from work and my sebae anemone looks like this. What could've caused this? Was it a powerhead? Emerald crab? Is it sick?

Water parameters please. Tank history. Lighting. Etc.

+1 ^^ We'll need current info - with real numbers- to help. Along with how long you've had the nem and any changes that might have been made recently.

@cromag08 you a nemspert?

Some times they just do that and a day later the anemone is back to normal.

My lighting is a DIY led reef lighting system. Nothing has changed in the aquarium. The only thing changed is her position in the tank. She had been fine for for about 2 weeks now and today she looks like this.

There's a torch and 2 other anenomes in the tank as well and everyone is doing fine

What are the other anemones? Sebae are very difficult to keep.

A condy and what i believe is a mini magnificent

Condy are tough to keep to. How is it now? As said, sometime nems expel and turn it's guts inside out so to speak. My RBTA did yesterday and today it's fine.

I am not an anemone expert, but I was going to suggest it's possible he's feeding or doing something related to digestion. Coral polyps expel their guts sort of routinely....parts of it, anyway.

Thank you very much for the outlook man. I'll wait it out until tomorrow and see what it does. I just realized that what i was looking at was the mouth turned inside out. The other side of it is bright yellow (which is the color of the foot normally)

Looks upset about something, but not dead nor anything indicating that it's dying. it does look a little bleached. they like a lot of light.

Believe me she gets plenty light. But I've never seen her get like this
