Hello guys do your think my anemone is okey ?

[Dytto]

Hi guys do you think my anemone is okey got her from the shop it said sand anemone but they kept her in aquarium with no sand she is not burring into sand or sticking anywhere

How old is this tank? The milkyness of the water isn't a good sign.

 

[Dytto]

Oh sorry I forgot to say I just buffed it with alkaline buffer as the PH was a bit low that’s why it’s 8 months I have another anemone bubble tip small one and she is doing fine all corals looks fine and healthy

 

[Dytto]

My clown loves her

 

[littlefoxx]

Her foot looks super puffed up, usually they do that when they are going to move. How long have you had her? She might not like the light intensity or flow in the spot shes in. I would let her move and see what she does

 

[Dytto]

I have her around 3-4 days she is free to move I did not touch her I did not want to bother her but this morning she is like this with her mouth wide open I think

Maybe share a little more info about the tank? Inhabitants, water parameters, how you run things, equipment such as lighting including schedule, etc

Looks fine to me, just not happy at the moment. Give it time. If it starts to fall apart or stink, throw it out.

What did you dose? What was your alkalinity prior to dosing?

You don't dose buffer for pH.

If pH is low increase oxygenation and help CO2 leave the tank.

Do not chase pH and use buffers. They often increase alk and pH is different throughout the day. There are other safe ways to raise it if needed but in most cases it is not.

You are likely doing more harm than good chasing that pH in this manner.

Guys I think it’s dead

 

[dedragon]

its not dead yet but isnt in good shape. based on the fact you called it a "sand anemone" and are using buffers in a reef tank, you probably need to do a lot more research. Its not the worst thing, just need to slow down on live purchases until you can fully research the organisms that you are trying to keep. Most people wont even recommend an anemone in a tank younger than 6 months (though idk how old your tank is)

 

[dedragon]

I would recommend returning it or giving it to a person that has a stable reef tank to hold onto it until your tank is ready

I got her with the clownfish I was at the store and they were like they needs to go together it will be fine but clearly something is off I did all the test all looks fine I will do water change regardless to see if that is gonna help her

 

[dedragon]

I got her with the clownfish I was at the store and they were like they needs to go together

time to find a new store. they just did that to sell you more stuff instead of telling you the truth.
what are your parameter numbers? how are you testing? are you using rodi water or tap and conditioner?

 

[Dytto]

I have RODI water PH is on 8.2 anomia 0ppm nitrite 0ppm nitrate 0ppm once a week I really want to bring her back to life all my other corals are doing fine my Zoas I have another anemone buble tip she is doing fine so I don’t understand why this is one so sad I will do water change and hope for the best it’s still moving it’s foot and all that

 

[Dytto]

The clown is well is trying to move her around I am not sure if that is not stressing her out

Sorry, no not ok. Looks like a long tentacle maybe. Did it look like this at the store? It is in vary poor shape.

Leave it alone and see what happens. If it starts floating around and drifting around the tank remove it and discard it.

What are your water parameters. How old is this tank.

Nitrate 0? Sure on that one? I’d expect some readings.

 

[Dytto]

I just did test and it’s says 5.0ppm
