Anemone Problem/ help

[Bobobble]

I got this anemone five days ago everything was looking good healthy attached to a spot in the tank. was taking videos of it last night thing looked healthy amazing. Came in my tank room this morning once the lights turned on and my anatomy was upside down. I left it and it blew over from the current. It seems an attached but looks completely floated and some of its tentacles are around the tank. Any thoughts of what would cause this other Aquarium life? Or just stress and adjusting to the new tank. I tested all my water before I bought it and everything was on for the most part.

Hi,

If tentacles are falling off that's not a good sign. How old is your tank?

when you say “everything was on for the most part” what does that mean? could you post your current parameters? Anemone’s do require a stable system with minimal fluctuations in water quality to thrive

 

[Bobobble]

prospahte 0ppm
nitrate 0ppm
calcium 380-400
KH is 161.1 ppm kh
salinity 1.027
ammonia 0
ph 8.4
nitrite 0ppm
temp 79.1
when is say everting been fine for the most part. Everything has been fine. Clowns look great corals look beautiful. Only issue is this anemone!

You really have no nutrients? You are starving your anemone. And any corals in the tank, too.

Looks like your nem could have went through a powerhead also.

Any updates on how it's doing this morning?

Yep they like nutrients you’re are on 0 so you need to get them up try maybe feeding more and how often do you do water changes
If not doing water changes and feeding more and your nutrients haven’t gone up you may have to dose but try the above first

I would feed your tank more; no nitrates and phosphates aren't good for an anemone.

as all have said, nitrates are definitely the problem, maybe feed a lil more?
