anemone behavior

Hi all!! Hubby and I are fairly new to the salt world. We have 2 nems living in our 29 biocube. We have one (I think) white long nem and rainbow nem that is hosted by a maroon clown. I am stressing about my rainbow nem because I feel like it’s starving. I have tried feeding it like I do my...

Hi, so I purchased a bubble tip anemone about 1 and a half weeks ago. I got it when I was in Houston, and brought it home to LA. I have a Fluval 32.5 that is just recently a year old, and I put an additional light on it (the Fluval reef/marine). And I’m still slowly increasing the light...

hi y’all! looked in our tank about 2 hours after a reef roids dosing & feeding and noticed 3 of the 6 rock flower anemone’s are swollen up & oozing an almost spit looking substance from their mouths.. usually the mouth area swells after reef roids or AB+ dosing but we’ve never seen this spit...

Hi guys, I bought a large carpet anemone from petco yesterday, drop acclimated it and transferred to my DT. At first it looked fine, same as in the shop, but after a few hours it appeared deflated with gaping mouth and white smoke like fluid coming from mouth. Water parameters are all ok - my...

So I want to discuss some experiences with other reefers who have anemones because I had a very scary/crazy experience today. Long story short, I had been moving some rocks around in order to get a fish out and I accidentally tore my BTA IN HALF. I might have gotten extremely lucky because the...

I'm new to this hobby and just started about 6 months ago. Lots to learn lol I have a bubble tip anemone who is super stretched out. I think my fish are afraid to go near this side of the tank. My clowns don't host it and don't want to go near it. See the picture. Is this normal? I've had him...

My BTA decides to be a diva and shrivel up every time my LED’s go from daylight to sunset.. Perfectly happy and healthy during the day and once the LED’s switch, it shrivels up and poops for about an hour. Any fix to this?

Hi everyone, I need quick help. 2 days back I bought new RBTA. He was happy when I placed him with the rock it came. Yesterday I removed him from the rock since I had no place for one in my tank. Also made sure his foot isn't damaged. He quickly went to the new rock, attached to it completely...

My BTA has shrunken a lot since I’ve gotten it. I’ve had it for about 3 months and it has only gotten smaller since. It also just started hiring a clownfish. I am a beginner and my tank is 5-6 months old. 36 gallon.

Hi all, I have an RBTA that I purchased in the hopes my clowns would host it (and they recently have started to - yay!) However, I think its health has been steadily declining since I got it in November. It deflates and turns grayish about once a day, but I don’t directly feed it super often...

I’m slightly upset that my BT nem decided to setup in the back of my tank and I don’t really know why it chose that spot. There’s very little flow and very little light for it but it will do what it wants to do. It’s been there for about 3-4 days now & I was wondering how I could get it to move...

Has anyone ever had a anemone get streaks of purple?

ok so i’ve had my new nem for a while and i know all of its normal behavior but to day i fed it and it was fine the first few hours but what is happening and i think this may be due to the anemone crab? anyone have any thoughts on this it looks to be changing into some sorta eldrich horror or...

ok so i waited a week before feeding my anemone a small peice of food and can anyone tell me is it normal for it to rip it out of your fingers and also how many days till it fully like reinflates it’s self it looks how it looks in the morning when my lights first turn on but it’s been looking...

Hello, I got this bubble tip yesterday, it was doing good (opened up and moving around) and when I woke up I found it like this. Does anyone know what is going on with it? Thanks

I’ve had it for about 2 months now and it is sometimes stressed and other times not. But it’s looked like it’s on the verge of splitting all day. Am I mistaking? I’ve included pictures as well. Thanks for your help!

Hi all! So I have a 55 gal tank Ammonia 0 Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 pH has been around 8.1 using marine buffer to bump it up to 8.3 Alkalinity I was told was a tad low as well earlier this week but I don’t have an at home test - the buffer is also supposed to be helping this Tank is fully cycled, I...

ok so the last few nights it would drink down and then have it’s mouth open it did this for two nights the only thing i could say it was is because i was feeding it every day so i didn’t feed it today and it went from the first picture is what it normally looks like to today’s picture so should...

Hi all just wanted some advise/re assurance my nem was healthy last night but this morning I woke up two a huge hole in the middle and it's still like this 4 hours later anyone have any opinion If it is splitting how long does this take and do I need to do anything?

How do I get my anemone to let go of the rock? I don’t want to damage it’s foot. I can barely getto the foot. If I point a power head at it how long does rhay usually take?

So got an rBTa yesterday. Here’s a pic of where he was marked by the red x and how he got to where he is. Should I worry about my duster? I’m assuming he isn’t done moving Is he just trying to get adjusted? Where he started

I need some help with my Sebae. He has not seemed happy since I have bought him. I have had him for about a month now. Sunday he started to look really bad his mouth is open pretty wide. He is not loosing his color and he is still eating. It might just be stress but I would like some other...

I was wondering what kind of Anemone this is? Thanks in advance for the answers.

Well it’s finally happened the wife cracked and we’re finally getting a rainbow nem!!! First I would love to get some ideas for nem placement. Post a pic of how you house them In your tank! Bonus for a brief on your thoughts behind it. Second I need some advice in my current plan: As with...

Hey guys, I'm new here so it's cool to meet you all. I'm posting this today because I noticed my poor Colorado Sunburst BTA is starting to look really strange... Never seen a nem look like it before. It almost looks as though it's withering. The tentacles look almost flat!! This occurred after...
