Anemone not looking healthy as usual.

[AquariaRusso]

Ok then, and yes I feed them brine .

 

[Oceansize]

How long have they been under those lights? It may be they're not acclimated yet.

 

[AquariaRusso]

I had the lights when I started the tank .

 

[Oceansize]

I don't know when you started your tank. But if you're implying 150 days and they weren't light-acclimated, then your lights may be too intense and the zooxanthellae are being expelled, hence the color change. I would lower the lights to maybe 25% of what they're used to and make sure you continue to feed. Then step up the lights every week or so until you're back to previous levels.

However, if you feed a lot, they may be simply excreting. Depends on whether they close up daily and then re-open, or if they just stay closed over the course of several days.

When did this start/notice a difference in color/acting?

 

[AquariaRusso]

Ok thanks a lot for the advice Oceansize, and couple weeks ago duke.

 

[marine2463]

Are you feeding it ?

 

[AquariaRusso]

Yes brine right now.

 

[marine2463]

Look and make sure the coral band isn't picking the food out they do that sometimes and irritate the anemone
What are your parameters ?

 

[marine2463]

Also try feeding like table shrimp instead of brine

 

[jcosta26]

It looks like mine did when it split, is there any chance it split over night and you just don't see the other one?

 

[AquariaRusso]

Not exactly sure I just did a water change and looked around thoroughly , don't see another

 

[AquariaRusso]

UPDATE. Did a 50% water change lastnight , I wake up and rbta is doing slightly better.

 

[AquariaRusso]

 

[Oceansize]

Good to know! I don't suppose you tried turning down your lights?

 

[AquariaRusso]

There is no adjustments with my lights , I think it's time to upgrade. Lol

 

[AquariaRusso]

Been cheating out on my saltwater tank, just bought a 180g with a gar & Arowana, dual drilled , full sump a lot of equipment included, so that left me on low budget.

 

[BoneXriffic]

How high above tank are the lights?

 

[AquariaRusso]

2inches they sit right on top almost.

 

[BoneXriffic]

Could be a large part of this....get em to around 10 or 12 inches.

My 250w MH was frying stuff in my 29 so i rebuild hood and got it to 10 inches. Everything is much happier
