I have had this Mini-Maxi in my tank for about a year and a half now. It has never moved and remains in the piece of live rock that I purchased it in. A healthy colony of green star coral also lives on that rock. The anemone has been puffing out its mouth for a while, even tho I have been directly feeding it a few times a week with mysis, and fish eggs. It is on the side of the live rock, so I am concerned that it maybe doesn't get enough light? Unsure.
But lately it has shriveled up and gotten rather small. It still has some very faded colors, and still moves. The flesh behind the tenticles is still redish brown in color.
But I am concerned about it. I do not know it's exact age, as I did purchase it from my LFS, in a 'used' state, as it was sold back to them from a customer who had it in their tank for a while. So not sure if it is just getting old and dying off?
But... My main concern at this point, is if it is dying, what should I do to remove it from the tank before it causes problems? I have tried getting it to detach with a powerhead pointed at it, but it doesn't seem to want to let go of that rock. Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
But the poll is looking for opinions on preevmtively removing it, or letting it go, and seeing if it dies in the tank or pulls through.
