Photos, information about your system such as water parameters would help. You provide zero information.

No information given at all.

What’s wrong with it?

Probably attending the funeral.

I see from your other posts that you have a Condy anemone. I usually don’t see a lot of positive long term stories about them. Not sure if they are good pets

Excellent research, way more helpful to the OP than my own laziness! :cool:

yeah i forgot to add the fact that the parameters are perfect, sanity is good, temperature is good.

Can you post a picture, or better yet a video? Flow and lighting is important. And give the actual numbers for nitrate, temp, specific gravity?

i have a power head and then the normals pumps, it’s a 13.5 gal tank, i plan to move the anemones to a bigger tank when they get bigger, or sell them, the Nitrates is 0-5 ppm, the nitrite is 0ppm, the PH is 8-8.5. and the specific gravity is 1.024-1.025, salinity is roughly 33, temp is 75-76. ammonia is in the safe colors i don’t really know what number specifically.( hope the video works, never posted a video on here before)

So I guess problem solved? Can't help if you don't want to give us information and some photos

Salinity and temp are both low. Temp should be around 77-78 and salinity 35

Thank you for posting a vid and your parameters. I'm pretty sure I saw a different thread where you were saying your anemones are dividing quickly. Your parameters look okay, temp of 78-82F would be better and specific gravity of 1.026, salinity 35PPT. The fact your BTAs are dividing quickly makes me think something is stressing them. BTAs that are happy do divide on occasion, but not all that often. You mentioned in the other thread that you have an algae outbreak. Your anemones look okay to me. I don't think you're anywhere near losing them. If I were you, I would continue to work on reducing the hair algae using scraping, clean up crew of snails, and I would do regular 25% water changes, weekly until things settle down. If you're not running a protein skimmer, that might help with the algae growth, too.

Thank you so much, i’m planning to pick up more snails, and i already have a protein skimmer going, i appreciate your help.

You're most welcome! Good luck and keep us posted.
