Dying anemone?

[inthabayou]

Just put a new blue-green bubble tip anemone in my tank yesterday, and it has disappeared into a crevice in the rockwork. Is this normal? I am also starting to see some type of slime in that area, is it dead or dying? Feather dusteres are thriving and all fish seem to be doing great. Bought the anemone for my new clarkii. Any help appreciated.

Dead anemone.... Got it out of the tank a few minutes ago.... Nasty stringy mess and the smell.... Glad I had been monitoring and didnt leave it in there but a few hours.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you did the right thing removing it. I'd also run some carbon and perhaps have a water change ready to go incase you see some spikes.
How did you acclimate it and where did you get it ~ mail order or LFS.
