Anemone dying

[Deanster12]

Hi, I have had this long tipped anemone for 2 years, parameters are all stable as I have torches and Duncan’s all thriving, it has never moved from its spot but for some reason this morning he is like the below picture, he is shrivelled up and his mouth is exposed, he is still anchored to the underneath of the rock, I think he’s on his way out, what would be the best thing to do as I don’t want it nuking my tank

It would not surprise me if the Anemone pops right back up in a couple hours. But if not you are going to have to remove.

It was fully out yesterday, tentacles were massive with no visible issues, I did notice a bristle worm on it and then it’s been closed all night and this morning, I was hoping it would open up when the lights come on

Nope he’s definitely alive, his mouth has gone back in and his tentacles are more expanded, that must of been the longest **** he’s ever had

Mine do this from time to time. Had a issue with salinity dropping too much and wrecked a few. But all back in working order.

Yup.

They do that.
