I think my anenome is dying :( HELP

[FishRForMe]

This morning it looked like this:


Now it looks like this:
Help!! Is it dying or splitting? Is there anything I can do?

 

[steelheader.262]

Is it a new addition ?
How old is you tank ?

 

[FishRForMe]

I've had it about 2 months. The tank is not new.... It's been hosted for over a month by this maroon clown..

From what I can see it's dying [emoji20]
When the foot and tentacles just "deflate" like that it's serious trouble. When the body envelopes the tentacles that's a normal defense or even feeding. Keep a very close eye on it and if you start to see any decay remove it from the tank immediately.

No its dying

 

[FishRForMe]

Now the tentacles have reinflated, but the base is still deflated. If a clownfish can save an anemone, this one is surely trying.... Here's what it looks like now:

Maroon may be beating it up too much.

 

[Shell]

Are you feeding it? Mine looked funny when it split.

 

[FishRForMe]

Yes, I feed it.. brine, mysis or sometimes pieces of silversides. It's mouth does look elongated, so I'm hoping it's splitting..

 

[twilliard]

Give it no3
These guys love the same water conditions as zoanthids

 

[twilliard]

Also by the look of your rock how old is the tank?

 

[melev]

It may have just spawned prior to the picture you took. They can get very deflated thereafter. It looked better in that image you posted as a followup. Can you post up all your water parameters and how long the lights are on daily (as well as what type), please?

 

[FishRForMe]

The base just keeps getting longer and longer. It's spread to 4-5" across and getting thinner. The tentacles keep inflating and deflating. I think it's splitting!

 

[melev]

It could be splitting, and that is a normal thing that you don't have to fear.
