I have what I believe to be a condylactis anemone. I’ve had it for about 2 months.
long story short I was in between tanks, had fish in hypo, everything was well, I had the DT at around 1.019 salinity just so I can slowly ramp up salinity in the new tank rather than still in QT before I put corals. Took about 3 weeks for me to hit 1.025 but I still put the other corals when I hit 1.023
i had the condy, my only “coral” in the dt, it didn’t have light for the first week or so but it was happy. I ended up putting the lights about a week or 2 later and she was fine (I did not feed much and I think that was my mistake).
suddenly the anemone bleached. I don’t know the cause of it. I tried spot feeding it for the last 9 days since I noticed the bleaching. (Spot fed her with mysis, krill or brine every 2nd day). Still no sign of improvements, the anemone looks a little worse actually. The anemone moved spots, she was at the corner of the tank and now she’s towards the middle. Her old spot was between 2 rocks stacked on top of each other and she could freely move under the gap if she had too much light. I’m really confused at what I should do and I’d like to not lose her. Every other coral is doing amazing, including 3 SPS I have.
It’s a 125g tank with 40 corals and 20 fish.
here’s a picture of the same kind of anemone from the LFS, mine was a little smaller with thicker but shorter “polyps”. It’s green with purple tips.
2nd pic is my anemone last Friday, now it actually looks worse and the “polyps” are skinnier, shorter and more pale than last Friday,
any guidance is appreciated, thanks.
