condyAnemone DEAD

ok i will try to look at it on a few mins again i couldent even see the oral disk it was so clear... but thier is a little bit of purple right near the foot and by the ****s dose that change anything

 

What type of lighting is it under ? And sorry if I missed it, but how long have you had it ?

I looked at your profile, nice tank BTW.

 

thx right now its under a 150 MH ( and sorry i think insted od typing disk i accidenty hit a wrong button sorry)

 

Well I would wait a bit since the lighting is good and it is still attached. Odd are that after it expells it's zooxanthellae it will not make it. Condy's just do not make big come backs. But as long as your parameters are in order and it is not activily decaying or dead pesonally I would give it a bit more time.

 

how would i no if its is about to die. i dont want to kill everything in my tank. also i might just flush it it was only 15 dollers so ya i dont know if its worth it to risk it.

 

Sounds as though you want to get rid of it, so I would do so. For me it is more about the life of the anemone than the 15 dollors, but you have an investment you need consider and there is that risk.

Anemones that are about to die are usually no longer attached, and show some degree of tissue decay or a gapping oral opening.

 

ya im right on the boreder line of getting rihgt off it ill give it today and see if i can see anything

ya i was thinking about that but i was think its eather one life or my corals, inverts fish but idk

 

probably not the best idea....


powerheads are probably the number one anemone killer after poor water quality

 

ya i dont know what i was thinking... i have been relly noobish with my tank latey. i dont know why.

 

I would say slow down and take your time. Anemones should only be kept in systems set up for them. I don't bother with them any more, as they aren't meant to be kept in reefs.
