    What do you think is going on with our little friend?

    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?

    Established haddoni issues- prolapsed mouth..

    I’ve had this red haddoni for years. It’s always been happy. It’s been through prophylactic treatment prior to introducing years back and one in tank treatment as a bystander which I don’t feel is related to this current issue. It basically has a permanent feeding response/prolapsed mouth. It’s...

    Last week I finally got a sebae anemone after weeks of searching for one in my area, he’s absolutely stunning and even has a bit of pink and green in him at times.

    What’s wrong with my nem?

    I got my black widow BTA about 6 weeks ago, and it picked a spot and has stayed there. But a couple weeks ago my female clown finally tried to get it to host her (she won’t let my male near when she tries) and it didn’t seem to respond. Since then she’s tried multiple other times and after a bit...

    Does my bta want more light?

    My anemone keeps moving and I'm thinking he's either just being an anemone or wanting more light. He is at the top of my tank right now and started from the bottom this morning. I have had him for multiple months. I had him in a nem box for about a month, because he walked off the rock and I...

    Anemone splitting for a month

    Howdy y’all! My anemone has been splitting for about a month. He appears like he may be stuck. At first he was splitting in 2 ways and then after a few weeks I noticed he is splitting 3 ways. Is this normal?

    Is me anemone being harassed?

    I added a paired tomato clownfish to my nano 20G, and had a rainbow bta that had been there for a couple months. Ever since I added these two they’ve been nipping at each other and at times the nem as well. Slowly it’s been receding it’s bubble tips and looks a little lame now - has anyone seen...

    Hey all. I received a BTA thru overnight shipping on 04/21 and promptly acclimated it and put it in my 90 gallon tank. He went under a rock pretty quickly and was there all day yesterday.
