Mini Max Anemone Melting in QT

[dundill]

Recieved an order of 9 mini max from Aqua SD yesterday. put in qt and one is melting. should I discard it to protect the others? Any advise is appreciated.

That's weird because they are indestructible ime. Since you just got them and they are acclimating I would wait and watch.
That's a hard call because it doesn't look that bad.

You might want to post your water tests and a little more about that system....how is it cleaned and filtered? ...anything else noteworthy too.

Ok. That's too bad.
I have two maxi mini currently. They seen some abuse but they always spring right back.
Is that an ATI T5 fixture?

the light is an old school compact 50/50 from corallife. the thing is over 15 years old. i was out of the hobby for a bit. back then i ran metal halides, radium bulbs on m80 ballasts. started again 3 years ago. alot has changed since.
