My bubble tip anemone is experience a partially bleach. Seeking treatment

hanyuxie · Jan 23, 2023

One of my bubble tip bleached only a part. Don’t know for what reason. I got a lot anemones in my tank, they are all performing fine except that one.

The tank is settled up over 6 month, and water chemistry is stable. There are only two thing happened recently, one is I moved my live rock a bit, the other is my clown fish is in favor of that specific anemone a lot. Do anyone know any treatment for that?

Remove the clownfish. I don’t think I have ever seen a clown irritate the host so that it bleached but they are known for loving lps to death.

Cool. I’m curious to see how the anemone looks after it gets a break? Keep a sharp eye on the anemone, it might get better or it might miss the fishes? These things are not really all that clear cut with cause and affect. Post an update so we can share the details and see the outcome.

Maybe try to add/change carbon. I wouldn't think the clownfish is causing it to bleach.

Sure no problem I’ll keep an eye on that and keep update. It is rarely to see a BTA only bleached a part
