Is my anemone dying

[mgsr]

Is my anemone dying. I feed him shrimp last night for the first time got up this morning he looked fine. Came home me from work tonight and this is how he was.

He is still attached. Sometimes anemones deflate. Then blow back up. Check your water quality to make sure.

 

[mgsr]

all levels are good

 

[fishroomlady]

how long have you had it?

It kind of looks like he is on the move... just trying to find a nice place to call home

 

[Nivagg]

doesnt look like it .. nems move look half dead shriveled up one day extended the next . if your the type to panic not the animal for you =)

 

[mgsr]

I heard if he does die to get him out right away because they will let off poison is this true

not too sure about the poison part, but it will become a tank of jelly mess if it goes unnoticed for too long..

How long has your tank been up & running?

 

[mgsr]

7 week and my LFS told me I was ready to get one.

It looks like your using rock as substrate?? Judging but that I'm guessing your using standard t8 lighting that comes with fresh water tanks?

 

[Reefahholic]

6 months, then your ready.

Appears ur LFS was dishonest.

What I see is a new that is suffering from new tank conditions. I wouldn't say he's dying just yet, but he's struggling because the tank is not established.

I recently upgraded, and my nems are struggling even with established LR from previous system, and 5 lbs of marine pure high performance bio media. Not to mention I'm skimming super wet and running fresh Carbon and GFO. Running socks and doing large frequent water changes Too. The only men in my tank unaffected is a RBTA. They are really easy.

The only Nem***

How do you edit a reply? Still have yet to figure that out here.

 

[KorD]

I agree with 7 weeks being way too soon.. I jumped the gun and bought my first one at 4 months.

I'd say get him to an established tank or even try to bring him back to the store. Remove the rock u used as substrate and go with a live sand bed that will get your tank to cycle alot faster. Also if you don't have a fuge I'd suggest run one. What type of filtration system do you have? Lights??

 

[ontop27]

Personally I don't think anything is wrong with it currently BTW

iMO Condi's tend to be uber picky and seem to move more frequently in smaller tanks. But the question everyone's asking ya is a: what kind of lighting is that you're running, because it seems a bit on the "too white" side. And b: what size tank is it?. And lastly to agree with maazreef your substrate (not to be rude) was a poor decision.

Hes fine. Ill say it with confidence. I have a condi. Very tempormental to everything hell be alright just give him.a bit to spring back up

Curious if you'll rebut your statement if he replies with "I'm running T8 lighting from a PetSmart\PetCo stock bowfront hood"

Just Sayinâ„¢

If he is using ****** lighting. Which he prob is due to the poor choice in substrate then yeah hell prob kill it. But my.leds also. Give off a whitish tint which is just fine for my condi and rbta
