Clownnem05 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hi so I picked up a bubble tip Anenome a couple weeks ago and it hasn’t been doing well. It detached from the rock and was laying upside down in the sand. The tanks water was cloudy and smelled a bit. Is it dying or already dead and is there anything I can do for it. The tank has been up for at least 9 months and has stable water conditions. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
RIP Sebastian Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Can you post your parameters (salinity, temp, nitrates, etc)? Is its foot torn? Quote Link to comment

Will it accept food? What is your lighting? Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Is there any white stuff coming from the mouth? The best bet is put it in a fish breeder net and let it just chill. It does look pretty rough but could pull through. It could be lucky and it could just be pooping. But,if you put it in the basket itll be close to light and it cant wander or float into a powerhead and really cause issues. Quote Link to comment

Will a plastic breeder box work or does it need to be to be a breeder net. Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Plastic would be ok,the white stuff isnt good though,generally thats a sign its on its way out. Keep a very close eye on it. Quote Link to comment
Andreww Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Is it still sticky? If it’s just floating it may very well be on its last “breath”. Quote Link to comment
Clownnem05 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hi, thanks for all your help, unfortunately today when I got home from school it had began to decompose. Quote Link to comment
