Anemone help!!

AydenLincoln · Sep 17, 2023

My bta has happily lived in the same place for months and yesterday I accidentally knocked over the rock he was on and it fell on him resulting in his eviction! I placed him back on another rock he moved slightly and is mouth has been open. Am I doomed? His foot is fine and he reacts to stimuli but is he going to die/dying?

My anemones do that occasionally… should be fine

Did the rock fall on him? BTAs are stupid tough. What seems odd is you were able to pick him up. That makes me think something may have already been wrong. Someone will inevitably chime in with your tank. Looks too new but I would just monitor him.

Mine look like that a lot when the lights start to dim low. Maybe not a good thing though lol

Oh I wish lol! My nutrients run higher so I don’t have a lot of coralline. I have some green coralline in a few spots and isolated purple coralline on corals.
