[Sampsonnnnn]

My anemone doesn’t look so hot. My water levels all checked out good. My salinity is .024/.025. Everything else fish and corals are doing great feed the tank regularly for all things in it and yea idk I’m new to this so I’m still learning but idk what I’m doing wrong rn for the nem unless it’s just unhappy or dying I don’t know. Plz help lol pics are included

Using mars aqua 160w 2 on a 60 gal they r hung 6 inches above it and at 50% both lights

Is it attached to the rock at all? How long has it been white/shrunken up? If it is opening give it time, but if it is limp like that you might have to cut your losses and toss it before it dies and poisons the tank. I had an anemone go in my Frag tank and I lost 15-20 frags.

What type of anemone is it? A bubble tip or a carpet?

No a lfs I get all my corals and fish from everything else is doing great from there

First pic is the foot and second is the top mouth part and last one is the foot again

 

[Sampsonnnnn]

Help lol

Color on the top looks good. The foot looks a bit mangled. I would try to attach it to a rock. It won’t open if it isn’t attached/anchored.

It looks like a mini carpet or mini maxi?

Dong is asking if it is a condy anemone.


It looks healthy enough to reattach in my opinion but I would defer to Dong or other anemone experienced Reefers. I have rfa and bubble tips.

That is a Tahiti sea anemone, very difficult to keep, requires pristine water quality and stability. People normally keep them in large tank.

From the photo, it is in pretty bad shape, most likely has a bacteria infection. People who keep these type of anemone will give it a dip with Cipro upon arrival.
