Help- Is it anything I can do to save my anenome

Lisa Cain · Mar 13, 2018

My anenome has been declining over the period of days. I do not understand what happened. It was hanging upside down underneath a rock. Someone suggested flipping the rock to that it could get light. That seemed to make it worse. Are there any possible ways to save it? I am posting pictures of its progression. No sure if it will make it much longer. I posted this in the anenome section.

It was under the rock to minimize it's exposure to light. I would move him back to that location or one similar and allow it to move out into the light on its own.

Beautiful nems by the way.

Why would you fix what wasn't broken? It was comfortable where it was. One thing about anemones; you must allow them to settle in where they are comfortable.

I have nems that have split and moved to the back of the tank where you can't see them. I know they are there and healthy/happy only because I see them during tank maintenance.

I'd flip the rock back over so that it's where it was before and hope for the best.

I moved him back to his location with less light.

Thank you! I flipped the rock back
