I bought a Pink Tip Anemone (condy i believe?) a few weeks ago and I've had trouble with it ever since. It always detatches from rocks and I have to reseat him and turn off my power heads for the night. He keeps shriveling up and shrinking all the time, then he will expand out fully, then shrink again. But it's becoming more frequent. Detatches from rocks and floats around the tank, and shrinks. When he shrinks he loses his color and turns green.
But a few days ago, I fed him a silverside. Maybe 1/3 portion. Was a pretty good size portion. He ate it and ever since he's been 10X worse. He looks terrible. Shriveled up, green, I'm wondering if I should just take him out of the tank. I hear that if they die, it can be bad for the tank.
Here are my params:
T5 39w 10000k and Actinic lights
Ammonia is 0
Nitrite: 0
pH: 8.2
Nitrates: 20
Salinity: 1.024
Temp: 79
I duno but he looks terrible.
Is it normal? I mean i know it's normal for them to shrink up a little bit at night, but it's not night time and he looks pitiful. What should I doooooo??? Is it dying? Dead? Remove it? See if it bounces back?
