My anemone
Hello everyone,
I recently bought a purple tipped anemone. He was doing very good. Today when I woke up he was as big as Ive ever saw him. After breakfast I went with my dad shopping. I got home after ward and my anemone is all shriveled up and is almost a gray colour. He is usaully a pearly white.Is he dieing or is this natural?:neutral: |
Welcome to Canreef!!
how about some more info? - water params - lighting - tank size/mates |
My water is. amonia o,nitrite0.005,nitrate10mg,calcum 440,salinity1.024,temp81.1, and for ph 8.2
Tankmates,1strawberry dottyback,1blue sided fairy wrasse, 1tomatoe clown, 5green chromis, 1 scooter blenny. For lighting I have coralife 192 powercompacts,10000k and atenic. My tank is 72 gallons with a 20 gallon sump,and a turbo floater 1000 multi for a skimmer:smile: |
My guess is that your not giving it enough light. Most anemones require more light than 92 watts of 10k pc.

Purple tipped? Condy, or LTA?
|
what is your Alk? also I noticed that your tank is still cycling as you still have a nitrite reading.. Nitrite is very bad even at low concentrations but I don't have a chart so I can't tell off hand if yours is bad.. I will dig up my chart and see.

Sometimes they shrivel up to nothing as protection against something they think is dangerous, in which case it will puff up again soon.
