Anemone looking horrible please help!

[Alvin88m]

So my anemone has not been doing good for a week now and today I noticed it completely shriveled up and has brownish slime coming out of his mouth does anyone know what it could be?

My parameters are..
SG 1.024
Ca: 440
Mg: 1300
Alk: 9
Ph: 8.2
Ammonia: 0
Nitrates: 0
Nitrites: 0
I'm not sure about phosphate

Here's a picture of what it looks like

do a search and read up on dosing it with cipro (antibiotic)

it may just be expelling waste. Mine inflate and deflate regularly. How long have you had it?

 

[Alvin88m]

I've had for a month now the thing is it's lost it's pink color and only about half of it is out and every time it feed it it'll take food in and just spit back out after a while.

I would treat it as well with cipro

 

[Alvin88m]

What is that?

 

[HVAC Guy]

How long has your tank been running. Its best to be 6-8mo established before adding a nem.

Alvin, read the sticky posted above at top of page by OrionN. Follow his protocol.

You can get non-prescription fish medictions. Google it.

Use CIPRO- Ciprofloxacin...250mg per 10/g. It's a synthetic broad spectrum antimicrobial agent (antibiotic). Do a 50% water change every evening and dose again daily. Usually by a day or 3 they look way better.

You will need some egg-crate....sold at Lowe's or HD and a small powerhead and heater. This will keep the nem from being injured. equipment on one side and new on the other. Walmart sells 10/g tanks for $13.

Hope this helps you bro!:beer:

Will I need light for the tank?

 

[Jamie1210]

[OrionN]

Any light will do. You can use one of the screw in PC light, don't need to spend the money to by a reef light for treatmetn tank. Really need a good heater.
