Help!! What’s going on with my Anemone

[mikkomuro]

Hello all,

purchased this LTA a couple days ago. First few days were great! Everything looked normal and it attached its foot to my live rock. Today it looks like this. Tank has been established for quite some time and all I have are a few snails and soft corals. My parameters are as follows;

PH- 8.1
Salinity- 1.024
Nitrates-0
Nitrites-0
Ammonia-0
Temp-80°
Fluval evo13.5 tank with included lighting(upgraded to AI prime but on back order)

Any help is much appreciated!!

Welcome! How long has the tank been set up? It should be at least 8 months old for any of the large anemones if done with dry rock. I would also raise nutrients slightly. I hope that this helps!

Yes, please define "quite some time".

Sorry about 6 months

So, your tank is too young. I would return the nem to the LFS and ask for credit or even partial credit. If you do not, It will likely die. BUT, don't beat yourself up too much, posts like yours appear frequently on this site. Some (most) fish stores will tell you anything they think you want to hear to make a sale. Keep your chin up.
