anenome death

[moo0o]

so how fast do you think an anenome will die if it was put into a 55 gallon 5 month year old tank with PC lighting?

sorry it isnt suppose to sound like a contest, wasnt exactly sober when typing that up.


i switched from 192w PC to 4x39 t-5 lighting awhile ago. and ive had the lta for awhile. It has yet to come out from behind the rocks and it has yet to get its foot buried in the sand. its been there for atleast 2-3 weeks now and ive had the anenome for about 2 months. Its not dissolving but its not ...thriving? which is why i wanted to know how long it takes for an anenome to die

did it move as soon as you switched to the new lighting? it might have gotten shocked from the light switch and and hiding to limit its light.

What's the water flow in your aquarium like?
If you have lots of flow at the bottom front of your aquarium you need to change it so the heavy flow is back behind the rocks.

To answer your question, an anemone can die over night and wipe out your entire tank. It can also linger on for days or months. On the other hand, it may be acclimating to your new lighting. It depends on too many variables.

it would also be very helpful to know what kind of anemone is being discussed
