Hello my anemone is acting strange. Some days she is okay, some other days she islike the pics above. And there is some slime coming out from her.
I have a 29gal tank. I have checked the water this morning and is perfect. I just don't know what. To do
Iwill appreciate some advice!
Thanks
Igor
 
My .02 there is something wrong with the water that you either do not test for or are unable to test for. I would say do a 50% water change. Then again I am really new at this, so my .02 may not be even worth that.
God luck.
 
How long have you had the tank for?
Water parameters?
Lighting?
29g Is generally small for an anemone
It looks bleached to me.
 
The anemone looks very bleached. What lights are you using? How old is the tank?
 
I had the tank for 5 months
I took a water sample to the petshop this morning,and they told me it was perfect!
I will do a water change tomorrow!
Thanks again for your suggestions
Igor
 
I have a decent lighting system, I have a 60watt. Double white and double purple light sys.
I feed the anemone every other day,a little bit of mysis shrimp .
I'm. Wondering if it needs more light,but isbeen in the same place since I introduced it in the tank
 
Hmm. Was it sold to you looking that white? It definitely looks bleached to me.
Also as previously asked, have you tried to move it?
 
You have an E. quadricolor anemone (( also known as a bubble tip anemone -- BTA )), and a bleached one at that -- though I have seen worse.

What are the numbers behind your "perfect" water conditions? Please include salinity/SG, and how you measure it.
Are you using RO/DI water, or tap?
Does your light fixture have individual reflectors?
Not sure if you actually have T5 lights -- they come in 24, 39 or 54 watts, so not sure how you got to 60 watts.
