WOW---I suppose you're proud of yourself for keeping it alive for 2 1/2 months. Your local fish store must love you for keeping him in business.

The thread should stay open so people can see how not to act. No need to lock it, just let it die.. Dont be too hard an the poor lil fella. He is obviously very young and has a poor up bringing. Its probably not his fault His parents probably arent raising him but they are letting the computer raise him. To be honest.. I dont get the "in your face" part.. was he trying to say that he was successful

The point proven is that lots of people (who think they are experts) are just wild guessing on anemones. It does not matter if the tank is just set up or many years old. I know from lots of threads on the forum that many experienced hobbyists who have tanks years older than mine go through the same bleaching problem with this species as I am.
If you read through my log you notice I have a slight ammonia in my tank when I have the anemone. This is actually not bad for the anemone because the symbiotic algae need nitrogenous source (ammonia/ nitrite/nitrate) to survive. This, in nature, is supplied by the clowns that live in the anemone.
Having too much ammonia though, indicates your tank has some serious problems need correction.
Nothing replaces books. Reading some random posts on the internet does not make you an "expert".Neither is following someone else footstep without understanding what you are doing. People actually do harm when they give out false advices.
This bleaching problem obviously has some other underlying causes that needs further investigation. It is not a simple conclusion of not having enough/too much light.

Let's disect this:
1) The people that are trying to HELP you actually have a pretty good idea of what they're talking about and actually have read these books you claim are important. Many have kept anemones for YEARS which is a good measurment of success, not months. It does matter how old your tank is. Fill a tank up add an anemone the same day and I will guarantee that it will die. Let your tank mature for a few months and you'd be better off. Yes people who have kept them for years may experience bleaching, but that doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing most of the time. And most of the time the problem is corrected. Yours on the other hand still looks bad.
2) Ammonia is VERY toxic, so I don't know where you got that. As far as the symbiotic algae needing a nitrogen source, maybe nitrate, but I highly doubt they suck up pure ammonia. I'm sure your clowns poo is broken down far before your anemone has anything to do with it.
3) Yes, the underlying problem: your own ignorance. If you come here asking for help you will get it. People here actually have somewhat of a clue as to what's going on. If you chose not to listen then that's your problem. Just because your anemone has squeeked by for two months does not mean it's healthy. Go out into the ocean and take a picture of a "healthy" white anemone.

Paxrom I encourage you to start a new thread on this topic.
This one is closed due to the immature responces and name calling which by the way is not allowed and the members that have been here for some time know this. If you have nothing good to add to a thread PLEASE pass it by and not respond.
as far as calling anyone a troll Please leave that to a moderator and admin to decide if you suspect it notify a mod or admin and we can look into it. calling someone a troll in a thread is not nice and is against everything that the board is I have seen that acusation many times and it turned out NOT to be the case.
