anemone exposing its intestines...

[ah_d3x]

has anyone encounter such a problem before?

help greatly appreciated here..

any pic?

if they expose the "inside" probably due to excreting the waste or lack of oxygen. I suggest to improve circulation.

Bro,

for more info:

Mouth open or everted

--------------------------

if the anemone has been in the shipping bag for period of time, it is usual for anemones to open the mouth wide- this is a symptom of need of more oxygen.

Or as a result of a water change in its body column.

In any case, it has been suggested by experts under such circumstances to place the anemones under strong water motion. This aids the ventilation of the colenteron.

Shirking

----------

When anemones do not receive adequate light to maintain their populations of symbiotic zooxanthellae that provide them with much their nutrition - otherwise shrink. This shrinking effect - involves consumption of tissues as a means to compensation the loss in energy from zooxanthelle. Suggest to increase lighting and feed anemone. but don't force feed.

Refusal of food

--------------

when anemone recieve adequate lighting, feeding need not be often (Julian Spring). Ocassionally. Just provide lighting.

IMO, best to throw away the anemone coz definitely dying liao. Don't wait until it causes your tank to crash.

if the intestine is like dangling out of the mouth, its bad news, bro. not much you can do but to get it out of your tank.

but for carpet, they have this swell on thier mouth easily mistaken for dying indication.
