    Im so sorry to hear it Blemo. Losing such a lovely creature is always heart breaking.
    Did you make sure to take her out immediately and give her a loving burial at sea? As long as you run fresh carbon and do a small water change the rest of your tank should stay strong.

    Alot of people say that Bubble Tip Anemones do not have a general WPG requirement as each anenome is different and has it's own lighting needs. Mine has recently passed, most likely because of something I didn't realize. What size tank do you have? I would really like this thread to be used to prevent such a careless, ignorant mistake as mine. If you have concerns regarding your tank, or anything just itching at the back of your head, just play it safe and don't get it, you might as well not then grief about it.

    Your mistake wasn't careless nor ignorant. We all make mistakes and we all lose livestock. You were just a happy new owner doing what new owners like to do: Keep hoping for the best.
    Keep your chin up Blemo ;D

    You're welcome.
    Just acclimate them slowly and make sure the water quality is good.
    Zoas, palys, green star polyps and xenia are really good starters.
    Keep us posted Blemo!
