What's going on?

[MirandaP]

The bubble tip anemone has been happy in the back of one of our rocks for a week or so now. I look in today and see this... A chunk of something and him moving around all weird... Not sure if this is normal or not, or what that chunk is???

What else do you have in the tank?

What are your parameters?

Or "had" in the tank. Looks like a chewed up fish.

All fish are in the tank though.

Do you see the shrimp? Could be the shrimp or it may have molted.

We did have small gramma die a few weeks ago that we were unable to locate.

I think you found it.

Yes, the shrimp is moving around. I guess I can scoop it out and examine it. Just didn't know it was something to do with the anemone moving around and looking weird.

Could be!

Kind of looks like a snails body.

Is this normal apperance for the anemone then?

Looks like a carcass of some sort and should be removed . When removed, I hate to say this but examine for flesh and possible smell.

I didn't smell anything. It was all white with a little bit of red. It was sticky/tacky almost like snail. I saved it in ziplock for my husband to check out too. I was more worried if something was going on with the anemone.

Got a better pic of the nem?

 

[NanoCrazed]

could that be your nem? When nems melt, they look like that but you would usually smell a funk.
