Re: Anemones got me freaked!
Foot buried in the sand is a good thing. Mine made it's way thru cracks in about 4" of live rock and 2" of sand to get it's foot attached to the bottom glass.

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
Update for anyone interested.....
Nothing has changed, he's still balled up and the tentacles that are exposed are shriveled and not looking too good. He tried to open up about 15min ago, but it only lasted a few minutes and he balled back up. When he was open I could see his mouth. He keeps squirming around, but still not open again. Lights are going off soon, I'm wondering if I should give him till morning Current Aquarium(s) Description: 180g reef with 60g sump/fuge Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: one year!

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
Not trying to scare you but my LTA was doing this and it died. Not saying yours is dying but there is a good chance. Give it till tomorrow some time.

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
Just curious, at what point do I call it quits and pull the thing out without poisoning my tank? What signs should I look for, or wait till he's obviously dead?

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
If it gets gooey and slimy, or if you touch it and it falls apart or disintegrates. You will also notice your water smelling especially foul

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
By the time the anemone gets to what Biff mention,you would have to suck it out through a hose.You can have pristine water conditions and sebaes can die.They are uber difficult anemones to keep alive.

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
I classified it as dead this morning. Although his foot was still attached, and he was still reacting very slowly to stimulus, there was a bunch of tentacles that were starting to fall apart, and a couple actually lying on the bottom. I plucked him and tossed him before things get ugly hopefully

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
Yep, if he started falling apart, I'd say he was beyond recovery. Sorry for your loss.
