Bubble Tip Anenome help

[Saltwada]

Hi everyone,

I have not had any luck with bubble tip anenomes. it always lasts a couple days then it starts to have white stuff comign out of its sides and im not sure why. i had a bubble tip that would split at one point and always eat, but recently everytime i get an anenome, it just doesnt like what i feed it and shrinks over time. Any advice on how to keep an anenome and what my parameterrs, temp, salnity should be? i really want to keep one and this is my 4th one. it stinks. this one already looks a little irritated. Please help

A little background on the tank setup and age of the tank and If you could post up your water parameters that may help in finding the Cause of the problem. Alk, ph, salinity, temp, ammonia, nitrates phosphates etc...

Stop feeding it. Just feed the tank.

Make sure that you test your water and ensure that all of the major parameters are in the correct range. Also make sure that you are using good RODI water when topping off or mixing your saltwater. As previously mentioned posting your parameters will help us figure out what may be going on. Without those it is just an educated guess.
