Plastic Reef Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I just got a small pair of bubble tip anemones and I put em in my tank 3-4 days ago. They won't eat, is it because they need to settle before and feel comfortable or is it because they are babies (3 cm)? I'd be very happy if you gave me some information on keeping them, thanks!

Plastic Reef Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Unfortunately I just spotted a kind of centimetre long half orange half black/purple/blue kind of worm or somethings, is it a parasite, the anemones are still small and they retract if i ouch them, so i couldn't take that animal out. i am going to try to take a picture but probably you won't be able to recognise it since my phone's camera sucks! - thanks for the comments and sorry that i didn't check earlier.

Plastic Reef Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Now for some reason it's closing up i fear that it might be the hitchhiker i just spotted! Quote Link to comment
Plastic Reef Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 you may see a kind of hitchhiker of some sort in the left anemone ( he is the darker orange in the middle ) Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Nems will do weird and scary things. They can deflate and look sickly when they just need to 💩. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah after I saw the comment on deflated tentacle it made a lot more sense. I thought it was crawling around and u couldn’t catch it. Lol Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Looks like a bristle worm to me, but the nem looks fine. They do funny stuff all the time, quite fascinating Quote Link to comment
