Carpet anemone insides coming out?

Kylie · Feb 16, 2019

my carpet anemone that I just got 3 days ago was doing good the first day, the second day he was smaller than usual and it looked like intestines coming out. He also lost his stickiness. Later that day he started looking normal again. Now today he’s back to the same way he was yesterday. Is he dying? He is also releasing what looks like white smoke. His foot is still attached pretty good. Should I take him out? Is he going to poison my whole tank?

Welcome to reef2reef !!!!
Since you just got it I wouldn’t worry about too much. Just keep an eye on it. Don’t mess with it or feed it.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
