something wrong in the neighborhood

[scuba steveo]

OK…Something is wrong here…tested all levels….everything is fine…..
The brain has not opened in over a week now….
And same with the anemone. And he will not eat.
How do they look to you?
Thanks,
Scuba

Just a thought, but did you test for copper?

 

[scuba steveo]

no
how in the world would copper get in there?

A random thought... has your lighting changed? Other than that you would need to list exactly waht you tested and the results for anyone to be able to hazard a guess.

 

[scuba steveo]

so you do see a problem in the pictures?

try getting a clownfish but i dont know if your crab will like it, i noticed that when i put flakes in the tank, the maroon grabs a flake with its mouth and feeds the bubbletip directly
well for most Anemones i heard if you touch it and if its not sticky its a sign of poor health
HTH

Everything looks OK, not great but OK. When was your last water change? What are you keeping your salinity at? Temp?

dont know about the anemone but my brains will do this from time to time even though everything tests fine..the rest of the tank is not affected and after a week or ten days they are back to normal ... ive stopped worrying about it and have just taken it as something that is normal with them...
sometimes a feeding will perk them back up and then sometimes it seems to cause it. i have given up trying to figure them out.. they have grown a good bit over the last year and seem happy otherwise..
hope this helps

This may be kinda stupid, but is that where they normally are? If so, is it possible that they are "stinging" one another? I dont know. I am having problems with my brain too (coral, that is ) It only puffs up on one side. . . i dunno

That's a really good observation. They could definately be battling each other if they're always that close.

and now for the update:
the anemone is dead

i guess the crab will be fine without it?

o well...it has to get better
