anemone care

My anemone is acting weird please let me know what I can do to save them also my bicolor blend was acting weird and it died this morning

Hey everyone, Happy Holidays! I recently isolated my anemone from my clown because he was getting beaten up. He seems to be doing better now that he’s been separated, hoping he’ll grow large enough to handle my clown at some point. Anyways, he has excreted some waste and there appears to be a...

So an acquaintance of mine has some really pretty really, really dwarf rainbow bubble tips. Fully grown these things are like 2” across. She’s had them for a long time and this is as big as they get. Can I put one in a biocube without it causing too much damage to coral? I’ve only ever had...

Could I get some help with the ID of this nem i got? Thanks.

I wanted to ask what I should make sure I have and what water parameters I need for my tank before I get an anemone. Any care tips or tricks are appreciated.

I have a 55 gal tank that has been running for close to two years. My LTA was added maybe about a month and a half ago. He was eating very well and hosting one of my Domino Damsels. Suddenly he curled up and started excreting a lot of waste. He would open up for small intervals of time randomly...

Two weeks ago I bought a purple bubble tip anemone. It looked great when I put it in, but it has rapidly gone downhill. At the moment it is dying, if not already dead. I have a lightly stocked 29gallon tank that has been up and running for 8 months. I have a juvenile coral beauty angel and two...

Just looking for some advice on my nem. Kind of shrunk over the past 2 weeks. Have been using Wills Black box led about 24' over the tank. Settings were at 7 blues, 2 whites. I have brought it down to 5 blue, 2 white as I thought may be too much light. I've decreased feeding to 1x a week with...

Hey everyone! I’m finally taking the responsibility to heal my BTA. it’s been some time and it WAS beautiful. Looked like a CSB but it was just a hint of rainbow in it. I’m sorry to say it bleached in the move from my 13.5 to my 25 So far it’s kept it’s colour and has been doing better but no...

Anything that works best for them other then the standard nem fare?

Had him for about a month. Spot feeding reef roids and mysis 2-3 times a week. Seemed to be eating and happy. Came home today and he isn’t opening up. Looks rough. Chemistry pretty standard. Nitrates 10-20. I did just upgrade light to Kessil AP9X And added an additional powerhead, but he is in...

Hi all, I got a purple anemone on Thursday (6th May) and I am not sure he is ok. I did the drip method to introduce him to the tank. The first day he rolled around the tank looking for a spot and looking quite nice (first Pic). The next day he found a spot and he attached, not the...

I'm looking at getting a new light setup that would work for when I'm able to add anemones to my tank. I know since my tank is still young it wont be for a while but I'd like to have my lights well in advance. Are these suitable lights? If not, can someone recommend a good light setup (I...

Hi All, I am hoping I can get some help with my green bubble tip anemone. I have only had it for 2 weeks. From the start, the anemone would inflate and deflate several times throughout the day. I wasn’t too concerned as it would usually inflate within an hour or so. In the last couple days...

Hi fellow reefers, I have now asked around through WhatsApp groups and all my reefing compatriots have no tips to help me and cannot identify what is wrong with my Anemone. My Anemone started with a few "bubble-like" pimples on its body when I first got it, and now it is starting to look worse...

Ok, this may be difficult to answer. I want to move an anemone from my tank at home, to my office tank that i built specifically for anemones. The problem is, my tank has just begun getting dinos, and my office tank has just now gotten mature enough for my bubble tip nems. The real question...

Hi! Am worried about my BTA. I know nems could be weird but this guys looks awful to me. My tank is a 40 gallon, about 7 months old now. I recently purchased this nem about 3 months ago. He was doing great in my tank and immediatly stuck where i put him. A couple days ago he decided to go for a...

Ive had this bta for about 3 weeks. From the looks of it, is it a goner? It does not smell. It looked like this a couple days ago but inflated afterwards. I am struggling with a low nutrient parameter tank which im getting back on par slowly. Just looking for opinions based on its appearance.

Ok so I used to have a curlyque anemone way back in the day. Dude got had tentacles like 2ft long when fully extended. Mine never bothered anything fish or coral. My four stripe damsel who I still have today actually used to host it. Does anyone else have experience with these guys in a reef...

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...

Just picked up this pretty guy yesterday from my LFS. The lady said it was an Ultra and that it would host clownfish and I stupidly did not ask for more info. It has been cartwheeling around my tank until it lodged between a rock and my wall and overnight it put out some white strings to the...

What’s wrong with my anemone? I just saw this as I was doing a water change

I think my anemone is either splitting or dying. From what I am seeing online, ritteri are not prolific splitters. My husband was the one who suggested that it might be splitting (possibly just to keep me from getting upset) but I am concerned about the other occupants on my tank. We have had...

Hi everyone, new reefer here 2-3 months and I just placed my first green bubble tipped anemone. I put it in last night and it moved around eventually detaching and floating then getting stuck by its bubbles to the back of my tank. I woke up this morning and it was stuck in the same spot so I...
