911 Anenome Help Help Help

So I came home froma birthday party and walked in to see this.



When I left it was 100% good looking, extended and bulbed out. We fed the tank, with brine/spirulina before we left. It had regurgitated its stomach contents and the clowns were both inside the anenome fighting like cats and dogs. So what could be the cause? Getting ready to test the parameters now.

 

Maybe it's just taking a dump. If it starts moving you may want to remove it so it doesn't sting anything

 

It was all limp around the edges(the brown part) and the tentacles looked very deflated. Its looking a little better now already. I wonder if the clowns fighting might have stunned it or something?

 

That's what mine does when it expels waste

 

Caring for Rose Anemones the right way - Deflating

It should be just fine and thank god! you really need to win this contest!!!!! muahaha

 

Well don't I feel like a tool. I guess I was paying to close attention...although it did avert a near catastrophe. The NO3 levels are way too high for this tank. Ill be doing another large water change tomorrow(already did 10 gallons). But the nem is looking much healthier already.

I just looked at member karensroseanenomes website and it is exactly what was going on. Who knew I would panic over an anenome that shat.

That was my first total moment of panic in the hobby so far... Thank you all very much!

Oh I earned the eternal dumbass title long long ago

 

Oh Ryan! It would really be a horrible thing if your anemone spoiled your contest tank...

 

Sure Biff...you'd be heartbroken Im sure...

 

I keep waiting for catastrophe to RAIL THE CRAP outta biffs tank out of karma for all the smack talk shooting from her computer like a sprinkler. :mrgreen:

 

You keep waiting!!! :mrgreen:

 

She only screws up with baby clowns. Maybe she'll move her pair into her contest tank.

 

No way. That pair of clowns are going to make me a MILLIONAIRE I say! I'm not putting them into the 10 gallon fish death tank!
