Unhappy 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?

My guess is that your not giving it enough light. Most anemones require more light than 92 watts of 10k pc.

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.
