BTA Anemone dying?

[reefer2000]

So i got this neon green bta about a month ago absolutely gorgeous anemone and it was just doing amazing for 2 weeks and after 2 weeks at night i woke up and wantet to check my tank and i saw the anemone was starting to move so i just cut the pumps for it to not get stuck and the other day at about 3 in the afternoon i come home andsee my anemone deflated just a little bit and i thought what a strange thing it never got diflated like this and thought it was probably after feeding thats why but that was long time ago. And now about a week after all this i wake to my anemone shrinked shrivelled up and dont know how to save it, some of you guys suggested cypro and i really dont know how to do it so please any help i will aprecciate thank you ( 1st pic is when healthy fully open 2nd pic is right now)

I don’t see anything obviously wrong with it, although your second pic does have heavy blue light so it’s hard to tell.

Mine have a schedule of deflating when lights out and reinflating before lights come back on. It’s normal. Yours is also still acclimating to your tank.

Yeah. don’t treat or disturb it. Keep lights/flow/water good, and it should be fine.

Reactionary adjustments to powerheads when it moves is going to be problematic. It’s moving for a reason (light or flow). You need to cover the powerheads and let it wander.

Ok thanks for the tip! I really thought it got infected or something.

I don’t know how much or if at all, that they are susceptible to parasites or bacterial infections etc. Mostly it’s the water that will immediately tell you something is wrong.

Dose H2O2 = angry nem
pour top-off water right on them = angry nem
need to raise salinity? Don’t pour extra salty water near them!

I won’t use any H2O2, carbon, vibrant (which I love for my other tank) etc in my Nem tank

Any chemical change and they go into self-preservation mode!
