I wanted a large anemone for may gold striped maroon pair. I got a long tentacle and they started hosting right away. It looked very happy for a week. Then the LTA suddenly deflated and stayed limp. Turns out I had a mystery nitrate spike. Still looking for the source.
I did a couple large water changes yesterday and the day before. It still isn't puffing up. There doesn't seem to be any sliming or tentacle loss. It moves when I squirt water at it so it's not dead. What can I do??? This a beautiful specimen and I'd hate to lose it.
Will moving it to a hospital tank be a good idea? I haven't checked to see if it's attached to the bottom.
Before:
(the disc is to keep the maroons from digging it up)
Now:
It's been like this for 3 days
