Hi everyone,

I got 4 days ago a beautiful hot pink bubble tip anemone.
Today I woke up to a cloudy/milky water, skimmer overfilled and an stuck anemone in wave maker.

I removed the Anemone she was all dribs and drabs. I diced to throw it away just because I don’t want any other risk in my tank.

what should I do next? Scare not all my tank to dye.
i run new carbon but i had to go at work.
Thank you!

Probably a big water change and run carbon. Was it actually dead?
I will say no, because she was all shrink I couldn’t see exactly what was happening with her. But definitely wasn’t good.
thank you

Very sad to hear, but water change and carbon. What else do you have as livestock that could be affected?

Sadly this happens too often.

You need to do big water changes, and run carbon. A bag of purigen if you have it would also help
