Hello everyone! I recently had a rainbow bubble tip anemone split into 2, and I sold the smaller of the two of them. I kept the larger one, and for the first couple of days it looked fine. After about a week, I did a small water change and cleared off a lot of algae off the glass, and it never seemed to recover. Eventually I had to get rid of it as it wasn’t going to recover. Any information on why this happened and how to help prevent it going forward? I do have 2 maroon clowns that are good sizes that were hosting it. Thank you!
