To me it looks like you could have a Heteractis Magnificent rather then a H. crispa. I know H. Crispa(seabe) usually prefer sand. Could you get a picture of its base? It appears that whatever the anemone is, it was once bleached and it is successfully rebounding..

If you take a jelly like, water filled, fleshy anemone, out of the water that was deflated, it will look like its melting. It lost tentacles probably because it hit a power head lol... I dont think it was dead I would say dont get any more nems till you do some more research and/or cover your...

I caught a 6 line wrasse by getting a poweraid bottle cutting off the top about 1/3 the way down, inverting it and placing food in the container. Took a lot of patients..... Waited till he went in and put a fish net over the opening, but I don’t think it would have mattered, he was so scared he...

Unfortunately since damsels are in the same family as clownfish, that isn't likely to happen lol...

Do you have the numbers for the water quality? salin temp ph nit nitra amm mag alk cal When was the last time you changed the light bulbs? Are the Leds for astetics or are they powerfull with par value? Do you dose anything? I really need a pic of the nem if you can get it. But you...

Need more info.... -Tank specs -Light specs -Parameters with numbers -How long the tanks been running -What type of anemone you have -When you got it and the last time you fed it -A picture would help greatly( try using a site like photobucket.com, upload it there, find its web...

I am not sure to the point where I would bet my life on it, I’m sure there are exceptions to the rules, although I’ve never seen a picture of a true yellow healthy specimen. 2 months in anemone time is not long at all. You have a healthy established anemone at around 6 months(im not saying yours...

The LTA looks fine and healthy, the pic in your avatar is what i was referring to as bleached. In time it was darken in color with stable parmas and regular feedings. Florescent, white or clear colors are all bleaching symptoms. I had a Lta that was green with white tips, the white ended up...

Def an LTA, they usually prefer the sand bed. If it isnt attached to that rock I would place it on the sand bed so it could burry its foot. If it is attached, let it do its own thing because an LTAs foot is very susceptible to tearing. On a side note, is this the 3rd anemone you are adding to...

Your anemone is a dead man walking.... Unlike a BTA, damage to an LTAs foot is nearly always fatal. Yours keeps wondering and won’t attach because the bottom of its foot is torn up. This happens often during collection. You can tell that it is tore up because its intestines are hanging out of...

A picture is worth a thousand words. Many times LFS mislabel BTA's as LTA's just because they have long tentacles. We need to establish what anemone you have first before we can say if its acting strangely lol. A white anemone is never natural its always a sick, or one upon a time sick anemone.

looks like a bleached gig. Try to stay away from the anemones that their color resembles White or yellow, its due to a loss of zoa.(the symbiotic photosynthetic algae that lives inside it and provides it with nourishment)

I would suggest adding the nem first as long as you can properly do so. The thinking behind this is, if you add the anemone fist it can get established in the tank. Once an anemone is established it can tolerate a lot more then one just being introduced to the tank. One issue with adding a nem...

this has no chance of winning, but it scared the **** out of me... giant flatworm

I had a bit of a tank issue today, my water top-off tube came out of the tank and spilled all over my surge protectors, a good 2-3 gallons worth. So my tank has been completely shut off for about 2 hours and I found this MONSTER climbing on the glass. I havent added anything in the tank in over...

Too warm - Not true. as long as the temp isnt jumping around 81 is fine salinity too low - True. try 1.026 natural sea water nitrates too high - Not true. 0 is preferred but 10 wont harm anything if everything else is in order. not enough light - True. you'll need t5 or mh to maintain a LTA in...

Hrmm, I remember coming across a thread a while back where someone made the same spell check mistake, I was laughing hysterically..... that being said :smack: :hammerhea

They all move if conditions aren't right. There are certain species like M.doreensis (LTA) that prefer to plant their foot into the sand, and if they do end up roaming they are probably less likely to get onto the rock work.

Its not necessarily a spot they like, its Conditions. Lighting, parameters, current, and tank inhabitants all are things that cause the nems to move. If it finds a suitable spot it will stay put until something changes in the above mentioned categories. It could stay put for years, and then one...
