OK. I posted a thread a while back because my anenome was turning white. Well I got my new Nova Extreme Pro and he became healthy again. Back to normal color and eating well. All of a sudden as of yesterday ( no changes in tank all levels great) He will not come out and his tenticles look a deflated. It looks like he is turned inside out and he stayed like that all day yester and now this morning he is not comming out
46gallon bow front

It looks like you anemone is just deflated because it is getting rid of waste. How long have you have it? Have you never seen it do this before? I know that when my anemone does deflate, it appears as if it is dying, but it is just defecating.

I have had it for 6-7 months. It has been like this for 3 days now and is not eating and moving around the tank. Anymore suggestions???

You should post your specific water parameters. Nitrate, Nitrite, PH, ammonia, SG, temp, ect. Test strips are not known for their accuracy. How often do you do water changes and how much? I see you have CC for a substrate, do you vaccuum this when you do changes? I had CC when I started with my tank and slowly after time, it led to problems. Works well for fish only tanks, but not great for corals ect. Had very high trates with it even though I cleaned it. Best of luck.

no I do not vacumme it I was told not to stirr up the bottom....should I vaccumme it and what is a better substrate to use. I do water changes once a month, 5 gallons with RO water.
