Could you post pics, and tell us a little bit more about the tank it is in - lighting, water parameters, etc? Do you know what kind of anemone it is? What color is it?

nickfree321 · 12-31-2008, 01:31 PM

it a white bubble tip one, the clowns i had before used to go in side it alot and used to open all the time but when they died it closed up and moved about and has never opened again

IME, a white anemone is never healthy. What type of lighting do you have on the tank? Do you know why the clowns died? Have you fed the anemone at all?

I'm moving this to the General Reef Discussion forum so you will get more replies.

How many watts of light on what size tank? Do you target feed the anemone? What are the water parameters?

Can you tell (without touching it with your hand) if it's tentacles are still sticky/tacky?

Has it expelled anything out of it's mouth lately?

How long has it been like this?

How long has this tank been set up?

how long do you let your salt mix before adding it to the display?

It might be purging? I had an anemone way back when i did Fowlr and one day i came home and it had shrunk but still kept its color and stuff so i knew it wasn't dead. I read online about anemones purging and it did it every friday like clock work.
