I didn’t want to put this in the tank emergency thread.... I have a 2 smallish green polyp anemones in my tank... and they just don’t look happy! There is a pic below (sorry it is so blue.) Both of the ones I have slid off what I bought them on and moved themselves to what were, very happy spots. Always open... clown fish rubbing on them from time to time.. nesting.

Everything else in my tank seems super happy right now... my water numbers are great... these two guys just stopped opening up 3 days ago...?

thoughts?

Time perhaps? As long as your lighting/parameters are OK it might just be a phase. These things can be very temperamental sometimes, being that they can roam all over a tank if conditions aren't the best. It's kind of their decision, not yours. GL.

I think I figured this out I have been using medicated foods the last two weeks since one of my fish “might” have been sick. I think he doesn’t like that food.

I switched back to normal food today. (Fingers crossed)
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
