Rose dying?

[enseng]

Hi my rose anemone isn't look good these few days...attached is the picture of it with the gaping mouth..there is a seaweedlike stuff coming out from its mouth. was it its poo or something else?

My true clown and yellow tang seems like enjoy eating it...

My green bubble tip anemone I thought was dying also as it shrank very small and black thing was also in the mouth. I removed the black thing (most likely an excrement) by suctioning with a piece of hose. The following day, it was back to normal. I am not saying the same case for you but I am just sharing my experience.

from the picture i see that your RBTA is just removing waste from its system, RBTA eat and shit through their mouths. Shouldn't worry too much just monitor them.

How is ur rose now, interested to know?

just make sure nothing irritates it too much. esp clowns.

to check if its dying. Just try to disturb it with ur hands and if its hell of a sticky then its healthy.

anemones loses their stickyness esp on the foot when dying. dont try on the tentecles when its in this stage. 100% not sticky to us.

Hi bros,

It doesn't open as big as previously but it is still eating. Whenever I feed it with Henry food or brine shrimp, it will still grab.

From the way I look at it, its foot still attached firmly (didn't touch it though) to the rocks. It is just that it doesn't open very big, on and off closed up, and the frequency of close up is increasing.

My clown seldom play with it now, only when the light is off then the clown will just sleep inside.

Is it dying or sick?

Updates:

My RBTA is still surviving but the tentacles are not extended as long as previously. It became short ...and color also not as bright...feel that it became smaller..

What could be the reasons? I feed it once every 3 days...It is because it is sick? but it is still eating...or could it becoz of the lighting?

I am using 4x39W T5 lights for my 3 ft tank....but didn't change the bulb for one year already....
