Anemone killing my tank?


Recommended Posts

I introduced a White blue tip Sebae Anemone in to my tank. It settled in well and found its spot in the tank. It is about 10cm in diameter when spread out. Yesterday I changed the rock scape around and this morning I have a fox that is not swimming well, a snail that's suicidal and a gobi fish that's being digested by the anemone. I fear the anemone had gone on a rampage. The other soft corals are not plumping up like they normally do. All tank measurements seek ok. Do I hope the anemone settles in again or do I just pass it on.

Dont think its related to the anemone, u mentioned u did some rescape? maybe this could have released some nasties or destabilize the tank. Maybe u should also check your parameters and make sure its in check. Unless the anemone is dying or accidentally went into the powerhead, it should not be releasing any toxins. U can probably run carbon if u suspect toxins. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps.

It should be due to your rescapping of the tank that causes a change of water flow to the corals and stresses the fishes as their usual hideout or home have been changed. And while rescapping, it will stir up the toxin from the sands which is also one of the main factor.

So I agree with both of you I think it was the recapping and introduction of a huge new rock that I got from specialised aquatics. I found worms in the tank. Inhave washed the rock with boiling water and it seems to be OK now. Thank you all for the help. I lost 3 fish and the anemone in the exercise. :(
