help reviving maxi mini anemone

[fishroomlady]

Hello All: I've had a maxi mini anemone for probably about a year or so......anyway, it has shrunk in size to a only about a quarter in diameter - I actually thought I had lost it but discovered it was still in the tank when I turned some rock around....it's pretty bleached out - is there anything you can recommend to try and nurse it back to health?

Have you tried mouth to mouth?

Sorry the title set that up.

Obviously it's unhappy with it's environment. Any major changes in parameters lately? How about changes in lighting? Have you been feeding it?

 

[fishroomlady]

no major changes in the environment other than it's out in the light more than it had been. I have not been feeding it....should I put it in a more shaded area and feed it?

Yes, feed it. Is your alk within acceptable parameters? give it a couple weeks to bring back slowly into the light.

Out in the light more then it had been? Was this the nems choice or yours? If you moved it to a higher light area then it will need time to acclimate, it's in shock.

Sounds like a plan.

it was attached to a rock that I believe had been facing toward the back of my tank - when I moved some rock around, it then ended up in the light - I can't be sure how much light it had been getting when it was facing backwards because I didn't know it was there. thanks all for the help!
