anemone beginner

Hello! I am new to saltwater tanks and I recently got an LTA for my two clowns I’ve had for a while. I added it roughly 3 days ago and it was attached earlier today (loosely) but tonight after lights out it is detached and on its side. Its mouth has been open slightly for a while so I’ve been...

Hello everyone, I have a Cade 600 S2 and was thinking about getting a new anemone (likely bubble tip) within the next few months. I have all softies right now, this will be my first anemone. I only have a clownfish pair, a cleaner shrimp, trochus snails and one tuxedo urchin in the tank. I...

hi good morning I bought one bubble tip anemone on month before,but still now it's getting green color it's but its take food one time...

I've had this anemone for a couple of weeks. It attached quickly and hasn't moved, but today this is how it looked. Is it not feeling well or does it need something?

I just put in a rock flower anemone in my aquarium, its the first one I have ever had. I lowered the lighting intensity by 30% for a couple days to help it out a bit. The rf nem moved around and chose a spot on toadstool #1. Toadstool #1 has since started looking absolutely terrible but there is...

Hi all! Bought two new anemones the other day. My first time owning them. Both have moved around the tank into a space they want to be. (Il attach an image of both) The purple tipped one doesn’t host clown fish and seems to be thriving The reddish colour one (that can hose clownfish) looks...

Hi I’m looking for help. I recently received two bubble tip anemones for free the anemone in the pic is shriveled up and mouth looks like it’s open while the second much smaller anemone looks fine just closed up due to the light being off (don’t have a pic of it at the moment). But I love had...

Hey Reefers! I went to do my monthly fish errands and ended up at Petco for reef salt since my chewy order hasn’t arrived and I want to mix water tomorrow/tonight. I’m friendly with all the expert fish people at every pet store and the expert was there and she asked after my tank. I told her...

Hi All, wanted to ask you what you think about this: Some nights, When the lights turns off my anemone (which I think is a Malu) closes like this, is normal? For example yesterday didn’t do that, the other day yes, just wanted to be sure this is normal, she eats normally, has the mouth closed...

Yes I know I have algae. I’m working to try and get it off. Did a water change like 20 mins ago. I just got this anemone this last weekend. It did great day one. But now it’s shrinking, closing up and I moved it ( I know) but it was like melting into the sand upside down. 5th pic was yesterday.

Got a new sand dwelling anemone yesterday. First one in our tank. Tank is 8 months mature. Brought it home, added to the tank in the usual way (leave in the bag to acclimatise temp and then open the bag and allow the water to mix before removing from the bag). Looked very happy initially, opened...

I’m completely new to the hobby so please pardon me if I come across as ignorant. I have a couple of questions hopefully someone can help. I’m setting up a 32 gallon BioCube for a couple clownfish and want to create a NSA aquascape with Marco rock. It says (as I’m sure enthusiasts know) not to...

Hi Guys, i got an H. Magnifica over an week ago. It expanded its tentacles the first three days well. Then my clowns got ahold of it and now its looking like this. Is he doomed or just mad? The second picture was three days ago

Hello, I just bought a new Sebae anemone a few days ago and wanted to get some opinions on how it is looking so far health wise (I am new to owning anemones). After day one, it found this spot over in the corner of my tank and hunkered down. I haven't seen it fully open up yet, but it hasn't...

Hello! I picked up this rainbow bubble-tip anemone for free at my work to try and nurse it back to a healthy specimen and keep it. I suspect it came from an original healthy anemone that split, but since my other co-workers don’t really have knowledge in caring for saltwater livestock it got...

Hello all, Currently running a fluval EVO 5 gallon with the 22W fluval sea light. I have 2 clownfish and a few invertebrates that seem happy. Most recent parameters from a Spin test at the local shop, attached imaging. Since then a 25% change has been done. I recently purchased a bubble tip...

My RBTA was doing fine in my tank for a few days after putting him in but now he looks like this. Is he dying or is he still trying to get used to the tank? He is still attached to my rock work. My tank is roughly 6-7 months old.

Quick post. My anemone has been fine for 2 weeks now, opening & closing every day as normal, anchored itself to a spot it liked, eating normally, etc. Woke up today and it looks like this. I put it in a floating basket to make it easier to scoop our, in case it dies, but what could've caused...

Hey all, stumped. new to reefing - about 3.5 months in. I've got some clown, firefish, fire shrimp, pincushion urchins, and cardinals. (nothing fancy yet) RedSea 850 with good water flow, working through a water change because I was an idiot getting started and used tap instead of Rodi (which I...

I recently bought a anemone for my 25 gallon tank. When I placed him in my tank he accidentally moved himself too a place with no light after reemerging he didn’t looks good after maybe 2 weeks he still didn’t get much better!! I’m currently moving him into my 55 gallon to see if he thrives...

Hello everyone, My BTA is a recent addition. Tank Parameters are optimal and he has moved once now to this spot. I think the flow was too much the first time and he moved to where you seem him now. He seems to be spread over this ornament that my wife really wanted, much to my dismay. Is it...

I just got this pair of clowns. (Pics because I love them) they're the first fish in my first reef tank. I don't like the idea of them basically being homeless and I want to get them a nem ASAP. (I understand they don't need it but I want to give them one) When's the soonest I can add one?

Hi, I just joined here and my tank build is waiting for approval so I apologize if this is too much info. I have had my reef tank for about a year now. I have other corals that I have had for since November that are doing really well (zoas, mushrooms, antheas, daisy star polyps, green clove...

Hello, I recently went to two of my LFS's and bought 2 cleaner shrimps from one store and 3 starter corals as well as a BTA from the other store. I have placed all of the corals and the shrimps into a 20 gallon QT in an attempt to not introduce ich/velvet into my DT. I was wondering how long I...
