Well, I removed Mr. Anemone He was completely deflated, had almost no movement in his tentacles, was upside down and looked like he was close to puking out his guts (out of his bottom anyway) I put him in a sealed plastic bag with some water and he's floating in the tank until I can take him...

My tank has been setup since July, so yes it is pretty new. These bad boys are only my second addition of corals, which is why I'm so edgy. I am not familiar with doing this kind of stuff at all. New mom syndrome

ty ty ty for the responses.. I've been worried so it helps to have opinions of others. Both the anemone and xenia were temp acclimated (both my LFS and this site say that is all they needed) Neither my salinity nor my temp have fluctuated enough for concern imo. Salinity has been the same...

that pic is with actinic lighting only, it was last night before the tank lights went out. I have a power compact, 24" 65W Dual Lamp...

They are not frozen no, they are like flat pressed sheets... and yes you get a clip with them usually (or buy it separate) Mine took to it right away.

Have you tried algae sheets? Mine likes those. Get a clip and put some on it (less than the size of a quarter) I made a mistake of putting a whole sheet in the first time (i'm not that bright sometimes) HOWEVER, I must say it did start an algae outbreak in the tank that does quite well for...

PH fluctuates during the day, first thing this morning my test was 8.2 I don't think salinity is the problem either, 1.023 should be just fine according to a lot of sources, although I would like to raise it to 1.024. not too mention if either of those things were the problem, then I would...

/bump I'll pay/bribe the first person that has a relevant answer for me...

https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/127007/faqs-fish-diseases-treatments-quarantine-health-info That is one of Beth's posts in the disease and treatment forum. It discusses QT tanks, Hyposalinity and Ich as well. Good luck.

Okay I'm really starting to get worried. I talked to the manager at the LFS and she said that more than likely they are just getting adjusted to the tank, but it seems like they are just looking worse and worse. Levels: PH - 8.4 Ammonia - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 10 SG - 1.023 Salinity - 31...

no thoughts from anyone!?

Hello, I need some advice.. and hopefully fast b/c my LFS closes in an hour (I might have to take something back) I have a 40g tank with three fish so far and an anemone, some mushrooms, baby zoos and pulsing xenia. Yesterday I purchased the pulsing xenia and a hatian pink tip anemone... neither...

If I didn't know any better I'd say that was my LMB in your tank :thinking:

Okay, one more question then... hehe. Should I glue them to one of the pieces of small rock or will they attach on their own? There are a few tiny pieces of rock and a couple pieces of crushed coral (was in the bag that came from the LFS). They're three little .. umm I guess you'd call them...

crazyzeus1, what city are you in.. is it Dallas by chance?

Okay I have a silly question. I brought home some green light mushroom today and when we got him set up in the tank I noticed about three pieces came loose and are in the bag. I would like to get them in the tank and see if they grow. If I set up a little cup like you have in this example...

bump. Anyone?
