I’m running the same light at the moment on my 36 bow front but I have a long tentacle nem he’s been doing great. Also have a green toadstool leather also doing great. Are you running the light on one of the preset’s

Actually got a new light (2 of them) aqua knight 30 watt leds. Currently running 50% blue 10% white

If it was me I'd give him a small meal and see if he eats it now that he's looking much better--it sure won't hurt.

I do give him mysis. Anything else good to give?

You could give it a small piece of raw shrimp. That’s what I do with my anemone for twice a week and I already saw a huge growth from 5 inch to 6 inch in less than a month lol.

As above. I feed mine Omaga one marine carnivore(frozen), it's 2 kinds of fish, shrimp etc. with vitamins. Also feed LRS Nano(frozen). This they really like.

Tried shrimp

it didn’t close around it and the fish picked the shrimp

Just figured out I didn’t have the intensity of color spectrum at 100%. Everything is looking better with that turned up

Cbones1979 · Feb 10, 2020

i feel like he’s looking better now

thanks for all your help guys

and he ate a piece of shrimp

Mical · Feb 10, 2020

He's looking awesome vs your initial post! You might want to try to feed it raw shrimp or a fresh clam (but only once a week or two) Very small piece and use tongs so you can place it on his tentacles (and use tongs to swat away fish while it's collecting the food) Nice recovery!!!

Edit: you beat me to it

Well...so after treating dinos via a blackout, my nem moved. He’s never been the same since then. Here he is not sure what to do...

DirtMcGurt · Mar 23, 2020

How is everything else in the tank doing? My nem looks exactly the same. It's been like that for months. I'm not sure if it needs food or what... and there don't seem to be many people on here that know what to do with this situation. You can try feeding it little bits of frozen food every few days. That's what I've been doing lately. But I'll follow this and let you know if I find a solution.

Pretty much everyone else in the tank bounced back and all are eating and looking plump. No deaths occurred except for my highfin gobi. I replaced with a bicolor blenny so that was a win win as the blenny is more active and better looking.

That's good that the rest of your live stock is healthy. Mine are exactly the same. Everything else is healthy but my nem just cant recover back to where it once was. The only thing I know to try is lowering my N03. It's been between 12 and 16 ppm with my P04 at .06 to .08. All my corals are really happy and healthy. Nothing else has changed so it's the only thing I know to try. Have you tested your N03 and P04 lately?

Yeah

it was .15 and 20 the other day when I tested

At some point I’ll have to get him out if he’s beyond recovery.

DirtMcGurt · Mar 24, 2020

So your nutrients are on the higher end of "acceptable" like mine. If lowering my N03 doesn't help then I'll also have to get mine out. You don't want it dying in there.

I have an old version Orbit Marine on my 60g high tank which has several anemones (2 were in it for a year) doing fine.
The tank also, grows leathers, GSP, frogspawn, hammers, coraline, and a bunch of random fauna just fine.

What are your settings on your Orbit Light ? I have one on my 90 with several anemones (just upgraded tank) but i can't figure out what to set the Red/Green/Blue/White at.....I've been searching all the forums and usually people suggest other type of lighting, but this is what i have and i should be able to get it programmed right, btw all bubble tip anemones...Thanks in advance

I have a Orbit Satellite +Pro light.....just looked up the specs on the current website and it seems to be for Freshwater Tanks, Marine Tanks w/ Fish.....I have anemone & clownfish a few other fish.....i don't think this is going to work for my anemones, which is what i am most concerned about....I just texted the LFS guy who comes to do our water changes and help with tank maintenance....I'll see what he suggests......I'll probally be dropping a bunch of bills....but im the wife and i make my money and my husband supports me and has his own tanks too !
