We have a 60 gallon tank that has been setup for roughly 3 weeks. We have some older fish (two clowns and a damsel) that we transferred to a smaller tank for ich treatment, and we emptied the display tank. (Kept empty for two months). After finishing the ich treatment, we refilled the 60 gallon display tank; added those fish back in and they're doing fine. Two weeks ago we purchased an anemone and some other fish (these are in quarantine right now being treated for ich). Well the anemone doesn't seem to be doing so great, the clown fish love it but some of it's tentacles appear to be shriveling up.
We've been feeding it shrimp every couple days (just figured that out anemones don't need fed that often). Wondering what's going on and what we can do to help it? Just added some Quick Start (live nitrifying bacteria) because the (live) sand was dried and washed while the fish were in a bare bottom quarantine tank. We also seem to have diatoms or brown algae in our tank (on the sand mostly) so we are vacuuming and changing the water 20% twice a week. The replacement water is RODI.
Appreciate any feedback,
Thanks!
