Anemone got minced

[wsiong]

Found a small part of my anemone partially minced this morning. I have removed it to a pail...water in the 2' tank is slightly cloudy..

Does anyone know the survival chance of the anemone? I know I have to change the tank's water but can only do so after I get home after work. So worried now that the whole system will crash!

Wsiong...

That happened to me once....

I doubt ya injured anemone in d pail of water is gonna make it...even if it does make it thru 2day...tomolo may be doubtful...judging from the "cloudiness" it made in ya tank...I assume that it is quite badly injured...most prob its innards r showing....?

(Its turns really stinko-winko after it dies)

Tank....may be okie if u have a good filtration system....u prob have to change at least 50% of ya water depending on the cloudiness of the water.

And relax buddy...worrying is unfounded.

Eat snake...chao early...n do ya thang!

Change as much water as possible but please make sure that it is mixed overnight if it is salt mix to dissapate the CO2 produced. Then heavily use a good carbon. Or you might use water from Reborn or some other marine shop first. The anemone will really pollute the tank. Happened to me once.

wsiong...

How?

Any updates?

[wsiong]

So far so good.

The anemone seems to be back to normal.....luckily the main body wasn't injured. See pic.

Yeah, thanks Tanzy for helping me post the pic.

the water level is so high and there's no powerhead for to agitate the surface. how does the oxygen get into the water?

[wsiong]

Actually the outlet of the protein skimmer is more than enough to create some turbulence on the surface but that is only temporarily. I will be setting up an external 2' sump soon which will be able to provide oxygen circulation.

i believe u would be using external overflow box. where and how much does it cost to get it??

[wsiong]

I am also looking for an external overflow box.

[hongqixian]

Very nice tank you have, wsiong! But a goniopora there?

[wsiong]

I know...just trying my luck.

[Tanzy]

Goniopora? Quite unlikely. Only goniopora that last longer than a few years are the ones that come with the LR.

[hongqixian]

Sigh.... everyone wants to try their luck.

When was the last time somebody tried mathematical probability?
