911 HELP MY ANEMONE

[FlameangelLover]

I think I have Dino’s ( I am dosing nitrobiotic from tropical Marin) I know people personally that beat Dino’s same month or even some same week from using this and increasing nutrients.

All my corals look happy and besides Po4 all my nutrients look amazing.

Please help if my anemone dies I will not want to reef anymore. I got into reefing for two reasons. Something to do and to get a anemone

Here is the nem before Dino’s and after. Is Dino’s the reason or something else? I did just get a better stronger light but anemones can move if he doesn’t like the light right

That nem looks fine to me. What's the concern, or do you have a before pic where it looks dramatically different?

This is him now. He looks small and not puffed out like I know him to be

Can try to increase the flow on him. I wouldn't be too worried just yet. Probably just getting used to the new water chemistry.

lol he’s a year old in here. And at once he was so big he was almost touching the top of the water .

I understand. However you recently dosed nitrobiotic which the anemone is probably getting used to. I wouldn't worry too much. If you're very concerned you can do a 20% water change. However, at this point I'd just continue to monitor him.

In the pic I see a ton of pest algae’s which may indicate unstable, or poor water chemistry.

For sure, something is up with chemistry.

Looks like diatoms, some hair algae maybe Dino’s

Nems not going to like that.

Are you using 0 tds RODI through an ATO?
What typically the flux in Alk, salinity and temp within 24 hours and how long has this system been stable?

I was thinking the same thing while looking at the picture: "there is a ton of hair algae around the Anemone". Seeing that leaves me feeling like it is a water quality issue.

Please post a a picture of your full tank; a picture tells us a lot.

It’s surrounded by Dino’s which some are toxic. Remove as much as you can from around the anemone, find out what type of Dino’s you have and fight it.
