Brown Anemone

[ckwhon]

as mentioned in the topic, any tips on gettting back the zooxanthellae of an anemone? mine is totally 'bleached' now...

any sifus willing to help?

those tentacles must not be seen released. They released when your tank temperature is too high. Once nearly all of the tentacles had gone, u should be ready for this anemone's funeral.

sorry dude, nobody can help u anymore as its too late.

FYI, corals will start to expel zooxathelene at 30 degrees celcius

btw, u should get rid of it from ur tank now in case it will corrode ur tank if it dies.

yes, it will start to release the tentacles when above 30C. but sometimes still can save it but I doubt he has 30C or lower. I think he didnt even has a fan to cool down the water.

dont worry, this is ur chance to learn that u must learn about them before buying one. and u can get a better one as browns ones are ugly, hehe.

Ckwon,

It requires special care and it takes 3 months or more.

Provide your anemone with the folllowing:

- Apropriate light condition.

- Good food.

- Good water.

And don't make them stress.
