Gbta on throes of death

[Nick Shades]

I purchased this nem back in early october and put it in my wife's tank. It was great, hosted with her maroon clown up until last week.


Her parameters seem to be fine. All of her LPS qre doing amazing, her SPS is growing.


25 gallon cube, 17 gallons total water volume, the only thing I have not checked are phosphates.


It started looking like crap about a week ago, so I pulled it out yesterday and put it into my tank at home.


After 24 hours, it does not look worse, but not exactly better.


Should I just pull this anemone out and let it die, or try and nurse it back?

Was it detached from the original location in your wifes tank? It looked like it got hit by a power head.
Is it getting slimey or melting?

If it is not a fancy and expensive nem, just replace it.....good luck

I let it ride. Unfortunstely it died, and my hermit crabs and other critters made short work of its corpse.

Such an odd thing. Lps and sps do amazing in my wife's nano. Her maroon clown hosted it wonderfully, never did the anemone move from its location until it started to take on a bad look. Disease? I do not know. It definitely did not hit a powerhead,though.

I don't enjoy it when things in my tank die (i mean, who does, right?), but my wife basically has a kick butt nano that excels quite well, and this just didn't work for it. :-(

That sucks bro, i agree losing animals/living things hurt. Glad you didn’t just toss it
