Anemone help needed

[themcnertney]

Don't feed it. Leave it be let it roam where it pleases. FYI I have never fed my RBTA. Started with one and now I have five.

Here's 2 angles. I moved the rock it was under when I got home because it looked dead and my ammonia level was at .10 not the normal zero. It fell off into the sand, I moved it to this rock in a shady low flow area like it was in, only know I can see it (for now). Just seems to me like it's not doing well.

 

[themcnertney]

As suggested just leave it be. Might also add to do a water change.

First picture is from the front of the tank, second from the side. He is about 1/4 the size it was, still has color. I have heard they can kill everything else in the tank when they die. When do I know to take it out? Seems alive for now, it's hard to see in the pictures but it is down in a little depression, looks to still be attached to the rock.

Finally got a top down picture, mouth looks open or all white, not looking good

A lot of people say not to feed it. I myself say it is trying to heal so if it will eat to gain the strength to recover, id feed it. But id also add vitamins to enrich the food such as selcon

If you think about it, it seems like it went from light to no light as if it got to much. That tells me that the nem got way to much to fast and is in the processes of letting its zooxanthellae go which is why nems look white when bleached. When it let's the zooxanthellae go, it is letting go of the main source it gets its energy from, light. So if it doesn't get it energy from light, it needs to get energy and strength from something which then food comes into play.

This picture is from this morning, looks to be puking something out. I did try to give it a little brine shrimp last night.

 

[domination2580]

Frozen brine?

 

[domination2580]

yeah, couldnt get the camera to adjust and had to get going to work. will update on condition when i get home tonight. i believe it went from mh to my led's. but as i said before i have the curent orbit non pro. and he was placed mid to low in the tank, and moved under a rock the first night.

Different lighting ussualy does that especially going to leds. Mine kind of did the same. But not to that extent. But i also dropped my lighting down all the way for a couple days.

 

[Double J]

Frozen brine?

yes, i let it thaw out for about 15-20 minutes before feeding. couldnt tell if it ate it or not.

 

[domination2580]

What i would suggest is feeding it frozen. The beine shrimp are too small for it to grab enough.

thats what ive heard, i turned the intensity on the white down to 60% and blue to 75%. just worried that when i move to the pro version it will go through the same thing. should i turn them down more? I am running the light for 14 hours/day

 

[domination2580]

Ok, my sbreeflights dont even get past 30% they put out to much intensity. Id would drop your lights a lil bit more to see if it helps.

yeah, this fixture only has 36 watts total. the pro is 52 i believe and has the spectrum neeeded for corals. i was thinking about the sb 16" but heard it wouldnt have good coverage on a 36" tank.

Get the 32".
