anemone care

Hi! Hope you are having a fantastic day! Just picked up a black widow Anemone for my aquarium about a week ago, and wanted to see some experienced people's thoughts on if he's doing good, and any advice for care. He goes into dark shaded areas at night, and then opens up wide during the day...

Bought a very large Long Tentacle Anemone about a month ago. It was a cool greenish colour. It is smaller now, or seems a bit smaller and has changed colour. My clowns are hosting (or the anemone is hosting the clowns). Is it going to be okay? I do feed it a couple times a week. Seems to...

So I had the wrong light (the one that came with the 75 gal tank..oops!) and a month later he turns transparent. I got a new light a few days ago hoping this nem will recover. I got the Current USA - Orbit Loop Dual IC Pro with Bluetooth app. What is the best percentages for the light intensity...

hey so ive got a 20 gal long peacock mantis shrimp tank thats been running about a year, my question is can i plumb a second (slightly larger + taller) tank into it using dry rock + sand and have anemones do well in it? ill be seeding it with a small amount of live rock from mantis tank, but...

I haven't seen either of them in person, and I was wanting to get the opinion of those who have. Also what is your favorite Bta?

Does anyone who has kept Chicago sunburst anemones have any advice? Things to avoid, Favorite parameters, compatibility with other corals or fish, Lighting.

I am looking for information on mixing high dollar bubble tip anemones. I already know it can be risky and people don't recommend it. I want to hear people who have actually tried though. I want to hear your success failure and everything in between. Please enlighten us on what you have done...

Hi My carpet nem has some if it's edges kinda chipped or that's what it looks like. Flesh showing as seen in the picture. The pumps are protected with nem guards. So it could not be that. The water params are good. It's in a 75g tank currently. What could be wrong? Two clowns are hosting and...

Help! I was on my way out to work this morning and I found my anemone stuck on the intake hole (I have a Fluval 13.5, it was stuck is that little hole that leads to the back filter chambers) I tried to pull it out and it ripped in half. I am horrified and so upset, is there anyway to save it...

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. I moved the rock to check on it and possibly feed it shrimp a few hours ago and this is what I saw. Is it...

Is the such a thing as an anemone being irritated by a clown? This gal literally perches in the anemone all day. She will only swim out when I feed. When i first got the anemone I could not see its mouth, the tentacles were very thick. Now the anemone's mouth is always visible. It's tight and...

Last night added a BTA, he was vibrant and spread out and looked happy. I spot fed him and now this morning the water is cloudy and he has split into 3 pieces. One looks like a white ball of nothing. 2 clowns Fluval 307 filter Fluval marine 3.0 light Power head Parameters are-tank is about a...

My son gave me a beautiful anemone and clownfish duo yesterday as a Christmas gift. They are both doing well and the new clown fish has become fast friends with my existing clown. The anemone has taken up residence in a rock cave and seems to be happy there, even though the light isn't...

So I’ve read dozens of threads on keeping fancy BTA anemones with other basic BTA. Like Colorado not doing well with any BTA, Chicago being ok with rainbow BTA’s, etc… Some making it work. Others not so much. I just wanted to give my 2cents on this as I did a quick experiment with surprising...

I have had this bubble tip anemone for over 1.5 years, and it has done excellent, showing lots of growth in that time. The last few days, though, it has been struggling, going through inflation and deflation cycles 2-3 times a day. The times that it is inflated, it isn't fully extended, though...

So I have a bubble tip anemone that split today. My parameters are all good, salinity has been consistent and stable, tank is mature and lots of coralline algae growing, no issues in the tank ever since I got it (a little over a month ago) it’s been very colorful, full of air, very big and...

Hey guys I just got a BTA (green with purple foot) and today is the first day with it and it has this purple looking slime coming off of it, is this normal or does this mean the nem threw up its guts and its on the way out?? Thanks, any input is appreciated

Hey guys! I have an anemone that I thought was dying he was under rock work for 2 days and didnt pop out. I decided to take him out but he looked 100% fine when i removed him So i placed him in another spot and he's been moving. He's in a hilarious spot but I'm worred because he is under some...

My anemone isn’t attaching to anything since i put it in my tank. ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate are at zero and salinity is at 1.024. I have corals in here doing fine just wondering what is up with the anemone.

I'm not really sure why the "balloons" (#1 image) show up in a couple of my anemones, but in the much larger versions (2# image), the tentacles look very stringy, spaghetti like. Also, could someone ID what type of anemones these are?

My anemone is acting weird please let me know what I can do to save them also my bicolor blend was acting weird and it died this morning

Hey everyone, Happy Holidays! I recently isolated my anemone from my clown because he was getting beaten up. He seems to be doing better now that he’s been separated, hoping he’ll grow large enough to handle my clown at some point. Anyways, he has excreted some waste and there appears to be a...

So an acquaintance of mine has some really pretty really, really dwarf rainbow bubble tips. Fully grown these things are like 2” across. She’s had them for a long time and this is as big as they get. Can I put one in a biocube without it causing too much damage to coral? I’ve only ever had...

Could I get some help with the ID of this nem i got? Thanks.
