I’ll load on and post the link those the anemone look stress to you ?

 

[reef lover]

He looks pretty good in that last pic.

What a relief do they loose color in the acclimation process ?

 

[jorge0912]

Sorry for the quality when I upload that is the best quality it gives for some reason how is the flow ?

 

[reef lover]

That's quite a bit...any way to dial it down a little??

 

[reef lover]

And they could lose color for many reasons...stress,acclimation,lights too strong, lights to little....most likely stress from moving around so much..

And my light are 165 watt leds black box one only under a 54 gallon corner tank the anemone is under it but on the sand gets good light i hope
100 percent blues 20 percent whites...whites/blues turn on at 12 noon together
At 7pm the whites go off and the blues stay on till 9 pm

He doesn' look bad...just looks like that one side is getting hit pretty hard...and that might cause him to release and float around again.

Turn down flow at 40 percent if flow is rigth to u guys I’ll leave it like that till it sticks .. unless is good enough flow like this I could leave it like that for ever ? problem is my clown tooked our all the sand out of the pipe will he still stick ?
They go down on the pipe to hide idk why

 

[reef lover]

That looks much better. Leave it there for a couple days and try slowly turning it back up...wouldn' worry about the sand they'l just take it out again.....

 

[jorge0912]

I saw that can I leave like that for a week or so then every week got 10 percent up ?

 

[reef lover]

Or 5% see how he reacts.

 

[jorge0912]

Thanks !! My jabeo pump can only go 10 percent at a time :/

 

[jorge0912]

Notice that my anemone would only gain color when whites would go off so I turned them Down 10 percent and is working my question is some tenticle a look like the long ballon when u twist them is that normal ? And some have sand stuck to it

 

[reef lover]

Light acclimation will definately help him adjust. And you will find nems do all sorts of weird things!!

 

[jorge0912]

Glad to know ! He scares me a lot as he does weird things for sure

 

[jorge0912]

Would the anemone be okay with
6 hours of blue and white and
2 hours of blue ?
Or do they demand more hours of light ?

 

[reef lover]

Well on a reef they would get 12 hours of intense sun. My lights ramp up and down and stay at peak for 4 hours. Best is to watch how he reacts and slowly adjust as needed.

 

[jorge0912]

Okays will slowly add an hour to it every week
