Dead or sick anemone?

[Dboyd6]

Ammonia: .5 or 1 hard to tell
Nitrate: 20
Nitrite: 1.0
Ppm: 300
pH: 7.8

Temp is 76

It hasn’t found it’s happy spot, I try to feed it krill but my clowns won’t leave it alone, It is also sticky to the touch but not super sticky

How old is the tank???It looks extremely new. And based off your parameters isn't even cycled yet. Anemones shouldn't be added into a tank until it's fully matured which can be almost a year into the tanks life. If I were you I'd try to rehome him now before he dies and nukes the tank.

Edit: sorry, autocorrect

Do what?

I would take it back to the pet store. Your tank is to new, it’s not ready for it. If it dies it will make a mess of your tank.

Okay! I’ve had bubble tips and they did perfectly fine, I also have a rock anemone and he is doing just fine!

In this same tank?

Can you try another ammonia test kit (which one are you using???)? That said, your rocks do look really new, so perhaps the tank is not mature enough and your other anemones are on bought time.

Also, is it just me, or is it face down in the sand? Can you flip it over and see?

Yes

You asked this same question in another post yesterday. We told you the same in that thread, the tank is way too new. Your parameters clearly show that either a) your tank cycle is not done or b) your filtration is not adequate for your bio load. Either way the water is toxic to your anemone and that’s why he is so unhappy. The best recommendation is as others have said and take it back to the store until your tank can support it. I realize you may have rock anemones in that tank, but my experience says that even tho they look okay now, it’ll let go and die in water like that.

It’s your tank and your choice, but keeping things the same, your likely to kill the anemones.

One other thing, if that anemone does die and starts breaking down in the tank, the toxins it releases will undoubtedly kill other live stock, like that clown.

Let’s back up. And answer a few questions
How old is your tank?
What is your Ammonia Reading?
What kind of clown is it?
Why and how did it get upsidown?
