stop feeding the cyclopseze for a couple days let it get settled chek water temp ph amonia and nitrtate levels asap.that anenome is either a sebae or a candilactus. stores always mismark these when they are severely bleached this way .they need a good water flow but not pounding on them .I did find my sebae to prefer cooler water 77-78 degrees
i cant tell by the photo if its innerads are falling apart
best water levels for this ph 8.3, sg 1.024 ,amonia 0 nitrate 0-10 0 being best no higher than 10, nitrites0 calcium 350-450.i really suck at the alk (had to check my test instructions) lol 2.40-4.43 ,DK 6.7-12.2 i hope this helps

Chemical warfare of course! When they die these guys can send off a rather strong ammonia spike.

Guess whats that going to do with your water quality! I don't really know why folks put multiple speicies in together. Guess they figure it won't happen to them
yet they do it anyway.

the problem with mixing the species of anenome is as thomas stated (chemical warfare)
a BTA and RBTA are still different species of anenomes.all anenomes release small amounts of toxins into the water some species more than others to kill off other species within its territory, truly is a battle of the fittest .this is to ensure species survival,they will combat this way until the competition is eliminated.this could be fully effective in a short time days to months to a very long time yrs even depending on tank size and filteration.but will continue until only one species is left .

First you tell him to feed it daily..now you say don't. :thinking: An anemone never has to be fed daily.I also wonder who debones the food for the anemones in the wild?
