Is my rock flower anemone dying??

Erink · Jul 29, 2020

Hes been like this for 2 weeks or so, since I brought him home. He hasn't moved at all. He just stays puffed up then closes at night. He could use some more flow but what about lighting? In the last few days his mouth has been open. He ate quite a lot last night.
I have 4 different anemones. Could they be releasing toxins?

These are the other 3. The rose tip hasn't changed his look at all...he did move higher though. I've had the curly cue for about 1.5years, the Bornesman about 6 months.

The curly que mouth has been open for a few days and he isnt eating at all. The bornesman hasn't been eating either.

Hi Erin,
I have no experience with anemones so I can’t help. @Ron Reefman might be able to help.

I have had 10 rfa for the last 4-5 years and never seen them like that. What other corals besides nems do you have and are they all acting normal?

I've never seen one act quite like that either. But I wouldn't give up on it either. RFAs are very tolerant of various conditions. The one thing I think they need is being fed once and a while, and it sounds like you're doing that.

The fact that it 'closes up at night' is a good thing I think. If it wasn't doing anything, I'd be worried. Keep a close eye on it and give it time. IMHO, anemones are slow to change.
