anenome is commiting suicide

[vest0830]

crap. My anenome is about to commit suicide but I gotta go into "work" this evening. I dont think its dead yet, it doesnt stink, the clownfish are still hosting in it, but I think hes wanting to take the leap of death:

Is that an overflow box on the left he is going into?

you cant just move him?

I didnt wanna rip the foot. And yes, thats my overflow. Thats now his new home. He made it. :lol:

so now the question....pull the overflow and pretty much kill it? Its not comming back out of there. I loved that anenome, it had almost doubled its size in my tank, in fact, im sure it had doubled in size.

What caused it to take a little adventure...I pulled my tunze out and tore it all apart and scrubbed the crap out of it and now that its turned all the way back down and it still over-powering the tank. It pretty much disturbed the anenome enough to make him move.

I still for the life of me cant figure out how people put 2 tunze streams in a 55g and run them. That must be like typhoon waters in a 55g tank. Mine is turned all the way down and litterly will tumble my fish every once in a while.

Take the overflow off for a day or two and put it in an area where you can aim the tunze directly at it and at him. It will make him move out of it. You won't have your sump working for a couple days but that won't hurt anything.

I came home tonight, and he isnt in the ovrflow, isnt in the tubes...no where to be found. I think he went back down and is under my rocks.
