anemone behavior

We purchased this anemone a few months ago and everything was going great. We had a pair of clowns that were hosting in it, etc. 120gal tank, and all parameters have been great. We feed the anemone jumbo shrimp, raw, every day and he always ate well. Now, within the past week he's gone rogue and...

I've let this go on for about a month now, maybe a little less. I have a ling tentacle anemone and a clownfish to host him. The clown is great, giving the nem food and cleaning him. The only problem is the nem keEPS MOVING. It's so frustrating. I have tried so many different things and he keeps...

So everything in my tank looks great but my BTA won’t open. It’s been at lest 2 months of prolonged closure and it’s moved once about 2 weeks ago. I have had this BTA for about 6 months and I can’t figure out why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated.

Could someone please help me figure out why My long tentacle anemone seems to like keeping his mouth open and at times poking it inside out?He had it open when I brought him home it was not protruding at that time. It closed during the acclimation then opened again right after putting it in the...

So, a month ago I had 2 baby clowns and after a week, I was down to one. I have a BTA in the tank and after scouring everywhere around the tank, I assumed the BTA may have eaten the clown. But, all the other fish have been fine. A week ago, I got a Mimic Yellow Tang, 1+ inch, and fed it this...

I need to know of this is a normal anemone thing..i took pictures but im not sire how well you can see them. Every morning when i wake up before i turn on the aquarium lights my nems are usually closed up. Well this morning they were however they both had white 'threads' coming from them. I...

Regarding the anenome I have an LTA and a sebae they were getting along with no problems I wake up this morning and the LTA has made the sebae move so to speak, my sebae is now under the rocks I have in my tank by the foot of my LTA, What should I do , Or can I do

Hello, I’m having trouble with my anemone. I bought it about a month ago and it’s still not looking good. It stays shriveled up and hides behind my Rock where the light barely hits. I have corals and currently have 3 fishes, 2 cleaner shrimps, 6 red legged hermits, and 5 nas snails and they are...

I have no idea of my anemone has a death wish. My rainbow keeps trying to move/go under my orange tip and it is stressing out help!

Hey Brad here, As of yesterday my green bubble tip looks really contracted and isn’t showing off his beautiful bubble tips as much. He has some of the Tentacles out and he reacts and eats mini mysis. Should I be concerned? What’s the best course of action? (Pics of him will be below)

I've had this LTA for about 9 months now. I know nems sometimes bite their tentacles and I've seen it happen before but not randomly like this, should I be concerned?

Hello all- This is the first time I've had an anemone split on me. Haven't got much done today because I've been stuck in front of my tank lol. It's a really intriguing process to witness. At first I thought it was melting, but then noticed 2 separate foots firmly attached and lengthening of...

Just got this georgeous Sherman’s bta about 3 days ago now and it was about 4-5 inches and looking good with all the parameters in the tank stable. It’s shrunk down to almost nothing after I woke up from a nap and saw it all shriveled up please help me figure out what’s wrong. The other day fed...

hey so it's only been a day since we got it and may be hard to tell from pics but my bf was concerned with this nem especially considering how much it costs just wanna make sure it's ok. kinda looks like it has 2 mouths or is splitting but it's not very large yes maybe a few inches like 3-4 ish...

Calling all nemsperts - perfectly normal looking RBTA been in my tank a month or so. 2 days ago started walking but I corraled him into a floating basket all yesterday which ROYALLY ticked him off. Last night I tried placing him on a high rock and he latched on immediately. I fed him a small...

Hi guys Looking for some advice, any input is appreciated... Our green bubble tip is 3 months old in the tank, tank is a year old. No temperature swings (79F), ph 8.0, around 35ppm nitrates average and 0 amonia/nitrite. It went hiding about a week and a half ago, and stayed hiding under a cave...

I have two red BTAs. I've had them both for about 6 months. They both used to open up "normally" I guess you could say, but one has been doing this for about a month(see first picture ). Notice one looks like it opens "normal" and the other looks bloated? I don't know how else to describe it...

My GBTA has been under a ledge for over a month. Been wondering if this is a problem. The anemone is expanding well but doesn't have as much of a bubble tentacle compared to before. The maroon is feeding it krill I put near it. The anemone hasn't moved since I got it except for maybe 1" towards...

Hi all, I’ve got about 3 aiptasia and I’m going to purchase joes juice. Only question I have, is it safe to use around my good anemones, they’re somewhat close to aiptasia, and also is it safe to use for one attached to my maxima clam? When injection I’ll turn off flow to maximize accuracy

Although I've been in the hobby going on 13+ years, I've only been keeping anemones (BTAs up to this point) over the past 2 years. After setting up a tank dedicated to anemones, I started hunting around for captive-held Magnificas over the past several after soaking up every bit of information...

So i just purchased an anemone rose bubble tip. It looks like a deflated balloon! Will it snap out of this? How long? I'm just a little concerned. I mean it looks healthy its just...deflated...

Hi all I'm looking for some input on my new green bubble tip anemone weird behavior. I guess all anemones are weird, but this one must be weirder. So I got this guy 2 weeks ago, and it has been going back and forth. Sometimes it closes at night hiding all its tentacles inside the body, and...

I moved all my inverts to a nano to treat my dt with cupramine . Everything went well moving them except I was as careful as a could with the anemone but I had to use a little force he was very hard to get off the stone I used my fingers gently nudge him to let go over a 30 minutes period and I...
