Anemone at 2pm

6:50 and the shutdown is starting. Lights don't go off until 10.

And here is how it ended up. What gives?

Is that larger nem a black widow? I had a BW nem in my tank with my Rainbow BTAs and they did not get along at all. Had to get rid of the BW unfortunately. Others had success with mixing though, if it is a BW nem.

So it deflates after lights have been on for a few years. Retracts into a ball and then doesn't open back up until the next day. Repeating the same daily cycle.

that's normal BTA stuff

They are all BW's

The anemone hasn't opened up into the light in 3 days nows. It's staying tucked behind the rock work.

And here it is now. The tips are not real long on half the anemone. It's looking like it's turning into a pancake.

Hey dude, any update on your anemone? I know resurrecting dead thread is bad but my bta just split a few days ago and one is doing great but the other one looks exactly like that. Im deciding whether or not should I treat it.
