Does my anemone have a chance?

[Heidivee]

Calcium 380ppm
Kh 140ppm
Dkh 8
Phosphate 0
Nitrates 10ppm

I'm trying to research this and answers online are ALL OVER THE PLACE.

I've seen they need 400+ calcium or that the don't need it all. That any Nitrates will kill it but then it doesn't matter and high levels are okay.

I'm working on adjusting his lighting. I got him on Sunday and he's still not happy. Not fully inflated. Oh, long tentacle anemone

It might help to upload some images. Also, you'll want to test your alkalinity and magnesium.

Just keep your tank stable within typical seawater levels, that is literally all you can do besides be patient.

I have an alkalinity test coming from Amazon tomorrow. Will take pic in a little bit

As @Arego suggested, he might be perfectly fine and merely adjusting.

His mouth looks a little open.

What kind of anemone is it?

Was told long tentacle

Looks more like a sebae to me honestly and bleached very bad. If it is a long tentacle it needs a deep sand bed, strong lights, stable parameters/mature tank and to be fed once a week starting in a couple weeks once it’s settled in

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

It looks severely bleached

I'm researching bleached anemone now. Is it a goner or is there something I can do for it.

To me it looks a little better today.

Local pet store has marine snow. Would that work? He's looking much better today.

I am not familiar with marine snow , always can amazon brightwell zooplankton lol but if it’s coral food probly works

So just squirt it in the tank? I don't have any other corals.

I wouldn’t , just use a tiny bit in a small paste like pencil eraser size max and turkey baster to give directly to nem, if it doesn’t accept it don’t force but it should close up and eat it

What type of clowns do you have? Look like tomato or clarkiis maybe. Hard to tell. Some clowns can be hard on nems in the beginning and you may need to separate a while.
