Ouch!

[Matt Smothers]

Is he gonna be ok? My tube anemone is all torn up

Welcome to R2R!

Ouch indeed. Was it a powerhead fiasco?

Unsure woke up this morning and that's how he looked?

 

[Retro Reefer]

Doesn’t look good.. I would cut the bottom off a small water bottle and put some rubble in it for your anemone to attach. If it doesn’t improve or starts to decompose I would remove it so it doesn’t pollute your tank.

 

[Matt Smothers]

I'm gonna give this a try. It hasn't settled since I got him a week ago

 

[Captain Quint]

May I ask the tank parameters and how long the system has been up and running, please?

 

[Matt Smothers]

The tank has been up and running for almost 3 months

Thank you.

Do you have a listing of parameters such as ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, salinity, pH, and salinity?

 

[Matt Smothers]

Thank you.

I don't, I haven't had a chance to get test kit so I have to bring water to fishstore

 

[Alexreefer]

I would recommend getting some test kits even the cheap API will work for now but I wouldn't trust the fish store with their tests because they probably use test strips. Just a cheap test kit for now will work but as you go on a test kit like salifert which is actually very cheap the their precision or red sea

 

[Matt Smothers]

The API kit is the plan for today(which is the same they use at the pet store). The guy I talk to there is a reef guy.

[Captain Quint]

Thank you for the parameters.

Is it doing any better?

It is! He found a spot just outside the purple lobsters cave. Any suggestions for a terrible algae outbreak
