Green Bubble Anemone

Give us tank specs (size, lighting, filtration), how long that's been in the tank, and what happened to get it to that point... If you have the proper tank for it and are not a complete newbie, it might survive. If you have lower lighting, a small tank, no skimmer, and/or are new to the hobby, it's 99.99% toast. My advice would be if it gets really bad and starts to visibly "die" get it the hell out of your tank. It will poison the whole system. Respond quickly and get your answer quickly.

looks like a new tank to me... no algae of any kind is on the glass in the background and the sand is pure white. i suggest never getting an anenome until you have 1+ years of experience and some research b4 buying. good luck!

It is a 10 gal tank, 20inch 28 watt lighting, Bio-wheel for filtration. Then anemone has been in the tank for just over a week, it has been doing great, my wife had a baby so I was gone for a night. What is wrong with it?

Okay... You need to take it back. If they offer you $0.25 for it, take it. :| You don't have enough light. People don't recommend keeping these unless you have a MH setup. "Bio-wheel" filtration... :| Wow... You need to do some research on those and how they are just nitrate traps... Clear out the biowheel and make it into a refugium (do a search on that one). The anemone has actually been slowly starving to death, not "doing great". Congrats on the baby, but do more research before putting anything else in your tank, please... Sorry that's all so harsh, but it starts to get annoying when every new reefer buys an anemone and has no idea why it's dying under shitty lighting. :|

That has to be the worst looking anemone I have ever seen. Geez. That thing is starting to melt in your tank. Take it ASAP. Dude you need to ask questions in the beginers threads before you do a thing like this. Remove those bio-wheels, I had one and I turned it into a fuge. Easy. Did you tell that LFS that you only had 28W of lights? Are they even PC's? WOW.

idk, Cesar... My anemone crawled into the SEIO620 its first night in the tank. Moral of the story, you ask? ??? It still has mutant tentacles from being chopped in 1/2, but it's alive, growing, recovering, splitting, and hosting a clownfish... Has been for almost 6 months now...

Hehehe, I dont know how yours looked but this one looks horrible man.

it's dead, there's nothing you can do.

the green tinge to the anemone,is an indication of the presence of zooxanthellae a symbiotic procaryotic alga, you should be using metal halides for that and should also be using alot of the blue actinic light, as the algae, photosynthesise best at the blue ends of the light spectrum. the algae provide an assential element of the anemone's food supply. but i think this one is far gone, it looks as if it was dividing/splitting and one side is still going, sometimes that happens, but make sure you get adequate filtration, phosphates and nitrates are not very well tolerated by anemones, so throw a skimmer in there if possible to remove that unwanted waste! hey and congratulations on the baby!

>People don't recommend keeping these unless you have a MH setup.

y mh. its a ####ing 10 gallon. i would say... a lotta pc, vho, or like u said mh. but u dot <i>have</i> to have metal halides. and... it does look pretty bad.

jjjo, I'm not sure your comment was exactly appropriate.
