What is this?

[stevepaynr84]

Anyone able to tell me what this is in a bubble of my new nem. Think you can see it in the pic

?

It looks like zooxanthellae and your nem is bleached

 

[TheHerbanLegend]

Agree with James, definitely looks like zoox/bleaching...most commonly caused by a high stress environment, could be a high temperature change, too much movement in a particular parameter (ie calc goes way down or way up, SG drops after a WC)

 

[stevepaynr84]

Ah ok it looks a lot lighter in the pic than it actually is. It's a lot greener than that. Only had it a few days though. Any advice?

 

[stevepaynr84]

That's a more accurate representation

 

[stevepaynr84]

Any help/advice will be massively appreciated as I don't want to lose this. My son's favourite thing in the tank!

What are you parameters? Any major changes since the addition of this Nem?

 

[Poseidon03]

I agree that the anemone looks bleached and that is zooxanthellae

How long have you had it for ?
If you had for more than 2 weeks , begin to feed it 2x a week.
