    Help! Just got a Bubble Tip Anemone in my tank. Never had one before. Got home today and this doesn't look right to me. What is going on with it? Pics attached. The first one is the anemone. The second one is all the stuff floating around in the tank.

    The white stuff is the nemmy guts.. They tend to puke them out when they are stressed. Most likely he is stressed from the move. Give it a couple days and most likely will suck them back in and be all good. You should see these dude when they arrive from the importer... YIKES they are like made up of more guts then anemone... normally if the foot is healthy and doesn't look torn or have huge holes it will be fine.

    Keep an eye in it. Most likely its stressed but if it continues then i would chunk it before it ruins your tank. Their "guts" can destroy your water quality very quickly and especially in a smaller tank.

    you should post a full tank shot picture... i have a feeling you might not have the right setup for an anenome in general.....
