Is my anemone OK?

[Mil26]

When I got home my anemone looked fine and bubbled up but it has expelling this brown thing this is the second time it has Done this is this normal?

 

[joshkirkland83]

do you feed it?

 

[human]

My guess is its just expelling waste.

 

[Bakerrr1010]

Yeah anemones seem to do a lot of strange things but I think if it were dying you would really really know

 

[Mil26]

do you feed it?

Yes I feed it once a week since that's what every one is saying to do last feeding was sunday

Then its "using the bathroom"

 

[Mil26]

How long do they usually take?

 

[joshkirkland83]

sometimes 30min, sometimes 6 hours

 

[joshkirkland83]

some deflate and some dont when they do this

 

[Mil26]

Do they use the "bathroom" everyday?

 

[surfnsalt]

I only feed mine once a month but it does "a number 2" sometimes two or three days in a row. The more you feed the more you... Well you get the idea. They usually look sick when they are , big open mouth deflated for a very long period of time stuff like that.

My anemones typically didn't. I also didn't direct feed it. What are you feeding and how much?

 

[Salty1962]

anemone poop

 

[Crixus]

Its just waste.

 

[DiverGirl82]

Yep, they poop out of their mouths. Doesn't that make you thankful you're not an anemone?

Feed one a week a little piece of silverside

 

[Mil26]

Well last time I feed was on Sunday and it's been pooping everyday for some reason bright when I shut off my lights embarrassed maybe? Ha

 

[Kev Smith]

Mine is pooping now and is deflated. It does this maybe twice a month after I feed it with a little shrimp!
