marinehobbist Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I bought a long tentacles anemone for my clarkii clown on Sunday. I find that my clown keeps on plunging itself onto the anemone and keeps on moving around. Today, my anemone shrink itself into a ball with its tentacles all winkled and shrinked into a ball. Is my anemone stressed out and dying? I also noticed that it gave out a little slime but this has stopped. Should I throw the anemone away before it really dies off and gives out toxic? Tks for feedbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member eques Posted December 15, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 15, 2004 best if you have pic.because the way you said is not detail enough, some more may be due to stress the anemone does not wan to 'open' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Reefbum Posted December 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 16, 2004 Agreed with bro Clownfish.But if still doesn't open up soon then I am afraid you got to remove it before it dies and pollute your tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member dleecool Posted December 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hi, do u still see their tentacle? u can try to use something to touch it, if it just dissolve a bit when u touch it, I think u better remove it immediately b4 it kill all ur LS inside. This happened to me once about a year ago!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member damien Posted December 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 16, 2004 if the anemone looks something like this, prepare to dump it. http://www.freewebs.com/karenssaltwater/thedyingrose.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinehobbist Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 Tks Guys for all your feedbacks. I've removed the anemone and threw it away this afternoon after I noticed that it gave out some slime. True enough, the tentacles have in fact gone rotten. Phew, lucky me before it kills all my LS.
