bubble-tip anemone

joe-brittany · 04-12-2007, 04:18 PM

i recently purchased a neon-green bubble tip and when i bought it the tentacles were shaped like bubbles. but now they are just always extended. why would it do that?

First off welcome to RS! One of the main reasons they will do that is because they arent happy. Reasons could include: not enough light, not proper conditions, levels of ammonia, nitrate and nitrite, also this could be caused by a new tank as they need established tanks to thrive!

in my reading, a lot of peoples anemone's no longer have the bulbs, and many people think, on the contrary to above, that this means the anemone is not stressed and the bulb's typically appear more when stress goes up.
i am no expert but have read this more than once

Is it stringy? If it is then that is a sign of stress. If it is not stringy and has just lost it's bulbs it is probably ok.

good clarification, thats probably what aquaman was saying, and that makes perfect sense
