Yeah you can, its usually used to help sickened clams, but i heard if you "force feed the anemone with mysis soaked in a zooxanthealle mixture, mind you need to thaw the mysis in saltwater. But you take a syrine, suck up the mixture, put the syringe tip inside the anemones mouth and squirt gently it will help.

First thank you all about the tank comments and the flow i have approx: 400gph through the tank. And wasnt getting upset about the comments i know it does look bleached but thats how he was and ive had him for at least 5months and other then his color he does great. I understand how they should look if you notice in the picks there is another gbta close to that one. Im not to worried about him he has done well. Thank you for the concern and help.

No Protien Skimmer? I ask because im also using a HOB Referigum and a Bio-matrix filter on the otherside, and i have no room for a protien skimmer. Looks like everything in your tank is doing well. What kind of matinence do u do for cleaning?

id like to put one in, that would be great. My Referigum is 18"4"12". Its like a small rectangle. Is there a skimmer that would fit inside there possibly?

Well what i meant, is that the skimmer is part of the refuge, it was built as part of the refugium, and it cant be removed, and the only one i canthink of is a miniflotor
