Anemone producing tons of waste

WIReefer · Oct 21, 2019

So I’ve had this nem for about three months now and he produces waste at least once a day some days twice a day is that normal and what does that mean? I rarely feed him.

Did you recently change your lights? What kind are you using?

Hes catching his own food...and he looks good.

I have a really big green one and he does poop quit often. Nothing to worry about imo

Your nem looks good! I wouldn't worry about the poo factor.

Had it been within the month, I would've said it's just adjusting the zooxanthellae population and what you see is dead zoox. However, since it's been a while, I agree with others that it's just poop and you have nothing to worry about. Some BTAs just poop more than others, and some deflate in the process.
