Condi Anemone dead

[trouble93]

I had a Condi Anemone die in a spot I can't get to it without taken half the tank down...I have a very good clean up crew. Is there any cause for concern

Depending on the size of the anemone, size of your tank, and filtration it can cause an ammonia spike which wouldn't be good at all. I don't think your cuc will do much if anything with a dead anemone.

90gal tank mega flow3 sump about 100lbs live rock and the anemone wasn't that big.

Thanks but it happens.

How do you know it died?
Anemones usually disintegrate when they die. Most of the time they are not "takeoutable" because they are in bits.... if it's intact, it may still be alive.

No it's a done deal...I was able to net out a few pieces, but some still made it behind some of my rock work. Thanks for the help.

Can you reach the remainder with an hose and a pump? It may not be the most desirable ways, but if you could blow out the remainder with a pump and siphon out the rest with the hose it may be worth a shot. BTW another person helping would be ideal.
