Rollercoaster

Its like a roller coaster with this anemone, The tear goes all the way from the outer petal to right next to the mouth. Last night it looked terrible and this morning when i left for work it looked good. The mouth is still agape and but the edges of the tear have closed up.

Ill post some pics after lunch when i go home to check on it.

Still

It actually stays still and hasnt moved since i got it.

These anemone love heavy flow, the wild they almost look like swaying seagrass.

Pic to come when i back. PRAY FOR ME!!!!!!

The fact that the tear edges have closed up is a good sign though.....Atleast for that matter it is healing itself. Hopefully it hasn't used up to much energy to heal that it has no resistance to fight off infection. The fact that it has lasted this long without melting is a good sign that it was healthy and your tank conditions are great....Otherwise it would have melted along time ago....Kudos to you for that.

Im gonna stop lookin at it

Ive been taking Pics everday to hopefully document its recovery and show the true hardness of these animals.

Its truely driving me nuts. I want to stop looking at it but it seems to be doing good. I went home and it looks like as you can see from the pics below that it expelled most of the water inside last night and this morning inflated with clean water from my tank.

Thanks for the Offfers of the Anti Biotics

So far so good, It looks good and it keeps pooping. Which is always a good sign of health.

Here are some pics of it from this morning. The mouth is tightening up and its been looking good.

Yes to your PM they did and pretty good, hes a good guy


I will try to get FTS show for you but fortunately i picked his location on an isolated island in the front of the tank. These anemones love to flop around with the outer petal.

I have enough flow for acros but my acros dont like the high flow.

Gigantea and Mertens carpets come from very turbutlent waters.

Still going Strong

I cant even look at it anymore. It looks good but its going through its acclimation process.

Waiting for the stickiness to come. Still trying to get a FTS.

I hope it will recover soon. I always use Fedex or UPS even though they are a lot more expensive.
