Anemone

[ronaldo34]

my green bubble tip anemone looks like this after a water change can this be normal due to the salinity dripping or what is it please help

Can't really see whats going on in this dark, blue pic. White lights will help.

They easily get annoyed, but a water change shouldn't be altering salinity unless that's your intent. IE, removing 10 gallons of water just removed 10 gallons of water, it did not change salinity at all.

If you add lower or higher salinity water to replace those 10 gallons then sure, but the replacement water generally should be the same salinity of your tank.

His foot looks inflated to me like he is thinking about moving maybe

 

[ronaldo34]

I did a water change I added half salt and half Rodi water to balance it out I’ll send over a picture right now

He has moved upwards a little bit since I bought him

He has moved upwards a little bit since I bought him

The water change might have just irritated him and he wants to move. I wouldnt worry too much unless he seems to be melting

I don’t know honestly

 

[ronaldo34]

it says it the spot left behind maybe from where it was attached

 

[AcroNem]

What do you mean you added half salt half RODI for your water change?

 

[ronaldo34]

Well since I don’t make my own salt water , that’s why I went with that method but now that’s it’s dropped I’m adding more of my premixed salt water little by little

Which method? Did you do half salt water half RO or did you add salt mix directly to the display?

 

[ronaldo34]

When I added water I meant by I started with RO water than , shortly added the premixed saltwater I get from my local store , no I did not add salt mix directly

 

[Nihil]

Do you have any way of measuring your salinity?

 

[Nihil]

So you topped off with RO, and then did a water change?

 

[ronaldo34]

Yes I measured it with my refractometer it dropped that’s why I’m adding more salt water now little by little

 

[ronaldo34]

No I added both is what I’m saying
