Hmmm depends on how long he's looked like that. If its been a few days, then yeah, prolly. Killed enough to kinda know.

Well, idk. Like a few days? But hes not smelling weird. I tried to move him,his foot attached after 10sec. What should i do?

Check your water, it's the one thing they can't escape. Flow and light they'll move around to find. But water chemistry, no escaping that, maybe do a water chnage and see if it helps...

Since there's already a similar thread in this forum, I'll move this copy to the anemone forum where it may get more expert response.

I see this as more stressed than dying. Some things which may cause this are : High phosphates, starvation, too little flow or too little light intensity. Age of tank also a factor.
How old is tank and how are you testing water?

I moved to a bigger tank about 4 weeks ago. Parameters where stable,when i last tested them 5days ago,before leaving for work. Should i blast him with light? Im using salifert tests

Do not blast with light but slowly increase Blue intensity and some white. Feed it mysis shrimp or Chopped krill

 

[billysprout]

is its mouth open? does it deflate/inflate regularly? do its tentacles move around by themselves when there's low flow? did you use true liverock to cycle the new system it's in and if so, where from

I wouldn't feed a sick or stressed anemone. Give it pristine water quality, moderate random flow, full spectrum lighting, and hope for the best. Antibiotics if you can find some.

Do you have multiple threads running right now on this same situation?

Wonder if it lived???
