Hey guys the anemone isn’t looking so good clowns just keep messing with to the point where is getting torne its foot :/ decided to take a risk and put it in a bucket as the clown wanted to jump inside the bin in the tank even doe it was on the surface :( did i make the right call ? There are more white stuff coming out of its foot and don’t want it to nuke my tank as I have many expensive peace’s of coral there :/
Should I put an air ston in there for him power head will kill iTunes also put an old 165 watt led box on top
If it with only blues on looking better in there I put two air stones in there I fear my Clark’s where the problem as my tanks chemistry was in the right point
Stable except recently my phosphates when the anemone started throwing things around

Yeah is been super little all night and the Clarkis are not taking and interest in it and maybe u are right I should separate them maybe putting the anemone on a bucket ?
I just don’t want the Clarkis to die :/ of stress
Also is not sticky no more like it used to wont even grab food no more :/
Foot is healing but the mouth not looking good :/

The clowns are not going to die from the stress of not being in the LTA.

Please keep us aware. But if the LTA goes into slim status, please remove it so you don't have to do an emergency 50% water change.

I removed the anemone and put it in a bucket due to the fact was loosing a lot of skin from its foot and it was closed up all night like if it was stressed making a 2 gallon tank with 4 inches of sand bed with a kessil in it so it could recober there

I don't know tons about anemones, but that torn foot doesn't look good. I think the bucket with aeration and light is the smart way to go for now.

Thanks :( I believe the anemone was a bad idea as it was in a tank for a really long time and I got it as it was looking for a new hom but it may had gotten stressed as it was old and big and a new environment stressed the heck out of him :/
Now I am scared of getting an anemone :(

at this point its vulnerable to bacterial infections more than anything. once they tear open like that its more fatal than recovery.(hate to say it)

Sorry to say but as I mentioned before, they rarely if ever recover from foot injuries, and I'd suspect that as your main issue all along.
It may have been injured from when you got it, it's easy to tear foot pulling once anchored.

Honestly, looking at that foot as it is now, I'd call it a valiant effort, move on, research for next time.
