My Anemone has lesions on its body

Wayne Kruger · Mar 17, 2021

Hi fellow reefers, I have now asked around through WhatsApp groups and all my reefing compatriots have no tips to help me and cannot identify what is wrong with my Anemone.
My Anemone started with a few "bubble-like" pimples on its body when I first got it, and now it is starting to look worse, the Anemone still opens up fully during lit hours, but when he shrinks a little in to the rock I can see the lesions are getting worse. If anyone can help with advice for treatment or at least identification of the type of issue I'm having please give me a shout.

The first picture was taken a month before the picture I took last night before bed.
This really has me worried, but I know it might get better before the damage is done any further CHEERS!

Try Sea Chem reef dip (Petco) or another iodine dip of your choice.

You can do it weekly until it clears up. Follow the directions, it should take care of it.

Yeah or revive dip looks like a parasite also you can dip in iodine !

It almost looks like something is picking at it.

@Wayne Kruger can you get a 100% white light pic of the affected area a little closer?

little trick, hold phone directly to glass and take pic, reduces focus flutter.

Ill try my best to, the only thing is that the anenome is only closed sometimes, and almost never when my white and blue LED's are on during daytime.
