Anemone

I accidently poured salt on my anenome and it curled into a ball and has a bubble on it. It is still moving but looks really sick. I'm really upset about it. I called the store who sold it to me and he told me that I stressed it out. Does anyone know anything about this? I dont want it to die. Help

ur suppose to mix the salt in a bucket or something then pour it in to the tank, not pour the salt in the tank directly u retard

The salt can also hurt your fish and other inverts if it get directly on them. Get yourself a little powerhead, and mix your water for water changes in some sort of plastic container the day before. Run the power head in it, and then all the salt will be mixed, ph will be balanced, and everything will be ready to go. Sometimes I even mix it a couple days ahead of time. I use one of those plastic storage tubs like you get at Wal-Mart. Then when your done, rinse it all, and you can store your water-changing supplies in the tub with the lid on! When I first started, I mixed a gallon at a time--yikes! Live and learn.
I don't think there's anything you can do for the anemone except watch it and keep everything in tip-top shape. It might surprise you. What kind is it?

Thanks so much for the "nice" responses! I am a beginner and am nothing but worried about my little guy. I feel like a complete idiot and i know now to make SURE all of the salt is mixed in and to check on the bottom before I dump it in. It is my favorite little guy in there and I hope it'll be ok. I can't remember the name of it but its pink and when its under the lights the tenticles are green. I pray it will be ok. Again, thanks so much for the helpful responses!! Does anyone know why it has a bubble on it now?
