|  My Sabae Anemone!!!!
I have a small sabae anemone in my tank and yesterday she completely moved to the other side on the tank and she shrivled up, and looks a little discolored, but she is still alive. So I called the pet store and asked them if she was dead...and they said that she may be dead or she wants to find a new spot in the tank. So i went ahead and moved her to where the light is hitting her and she stayed their, but she is not opening up. I want to know what i can do?? 
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME???!!!!  |

dont ever move an anemone unless its detached from rock, as you may hurt its Foot. Its probably just moving around for a more comfortable place  _________  | |

i dont think thats enough light for an anemone. and 2 months isnt enough time for anemone purchase. I would return it if possible. im guessing PC lights which i dont think could support an anemone unless there were Alot of them or anemone was placed right at top of tank Usually halides or T5's are needed for anemones. stick with easy corals and work way up as you upgrade...... | |
