Advise on Bulb Anemone

[tfrancis]

Hi,

My 50 Gallon marine tank has finished cycling recently and stared :5 Ocellaris Clownfish, 1 Maroon Clownfish and 1 Black Cap Basslet.

Included is also a Long Tentacle Anemone.

Tried to add a bulb anemone and after a 2 days the anemone started to dissolved as I can see white clouds being release into the water and holes starts appearing.

Has tried 3 Anemone and same sysptoms appear.

Can anybody advise what is the cause of bulb Anemone dissolving ?

Any water parameters to be checked ? Or is there any special ways to enter the bulb anemone into the water?

Has tested the NO2 and NO3 result is 0.

Inverts are more sensitive to sudden changes in salinity. You might have stressed it during introduction?

Hmmm, I would think so. It seems so strange that the bulb anemone is so fragile. Is there anyway introduction the anemone into the tank water ? thks

[terryansimon]

how did you add the anemone?

just dumped it in? or did you do proper acclimatisation?

tried adding my tank water into the plastic bag that the anemone comes in at a cupful full every 10 minute before dumping the anemone into the tank. Pls advise what should be the correct way ?

I jus dump them inside with some of the water from the plastic bag..
