Anemones got me freaked!
I came home today and found my anemone curled into a tiny ball, and both my shrimp were picking away at the little bit of tentacles still exposed. It's still moving around but its still closed up and it's expelling a small cloud like I've seen other corals do when stressed out. Is this thing gonna end up killing my tank or what?

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
You mean it? The milky stuff and all? I was all nervous cause the shrimp were harassing it just like they did to the frogspawn right before it croaked. How long will it stay like that? I've been home an hour now and it just flopping in once spot......I almost bagged it cause I thought it was poisoning the tank

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
Yeah,I mean it.Its crappin.
How long it takes depends on how big its last meal was.And the shrimp eat it because its got undigested food in it.

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
Is the anemone still attached? If his foot is still keeping him attached to something, then it's still healthy. It's a bad sign if they won't stay attached to rock.

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
I just noticed in your sig, you have 4 months experience? Does that mean you have that anemone in a tank that's only been set up 4 months? Sebae's are very sensative and I would not recommend trying one in anything but a very mature tank.

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
Sorry, sig not updated. Tank is at about six months, seven counting cycle. I wouldnt have risked it other than my parameters have not fluctuated at all since cycle. Even nitrates are at zero all the time, maybe 5 at the highest ever. I'm pretty anal about keeping it clean.

Re: Anemones got me freaked!
As far as the foot, it's buried in the sand, but I read that thats how sebaes like it.
