anemone care

I traded my 14” bta for some acros because it killed my torch, and i did have one other bta that was significantly smaller but still a good size. I was keeping it so I could give it to my friend once his tank was ready for it, and today was the day for me to give it to him. I was stupid and...

My long tentacle anemone got caught in a side opening of my AIO tank. I had to split it in order to remove it from the opening. I have come to terms with possibly needing to restart the tank from scratch. There are tentacles and white matter around the tank. I would do it differently now having...

They’re growing and spreading out of control. How do I remove Anemone from a large crusted rock? I would like to move them to another tank. Please help!

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. However, I just got home from work and saw that my BTA had moved right next to him and they were both somewhat closed up. I moved...

For a while now my black widow bta has been on the back of my rock structure, right beside the overflow in the left corner but near the bottom of the tank. My clowns haven’t really done anything with it, I’ve just been giving them time to figure it out. Yesterday I turned the flow on both my...

I have an anemone and clownfish tank that I’ve never had a single issue with. I got a green BTA two days ago which seemed to be doing fine until I found it under a rock like this, this morning. I turned the rock over so it wasn’t half in the sand. Is it splitting? Is it dead? Is it saveable...

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...

Can torch coral be with anemone tank and survive with only water changes? I was thinking of putting him in the bottom left of the tank where the zoa frags are because there’s enough flow but is there any way I could get rid of it since my lfs won’t take corals?

hi i have a fluval evo 13.5 tank and i have the AI prime 16HD and im having anemone only tank, and i need some help on what settings, i should uses on the AI prime as iv heard that anemones like high lighting. so if anyone that is using the fluval evo 13.5 with the AI prime lighting for an...

So let me start off by saying if I knew what I know now, I would not have gotten an anemone so soon. Definitely a mistake, but still trying to fix that. I got an anemone after having the tank for 2 months and it was doing real well at first (see first picture). It then moved to a different spot...

I'm not sure what's going on with my RFA and it has me concerned. He was vibrant green with a bright orange foot when I brought it home about a month and a half ago. It grew extremely quickly and eventually decided to detach from the corner it was bunkered down in and I woke up to seeing it...

Hi, My water even after the RO/DI filtering has 15-16 kh/DH I tested it after adding salt before the water change, in the aquarium its a bit lower about 14-15. How do other people deal with this issue without lowering the pH in the tank? I've got my tank for about 6 months and had my nem for...

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...
