Anenome needs help

[bobbbm]

I have been tring to save this guy in my tank but I feel like I am going backwards..... If someone with more experiance and a more mature tank thinks he can be saved I would gladly give them to you. I hate seeing anything die.

Bob have you tried building a little corral up somewhere high that it can sit in? Or even on the sand--just use rubble to make a little fence. Worked for mine. You're still ok if it is eating, but clearly it isn't getting enough light. Keep feeding often, small foods (even cyclop-eeze).

I think the bulbs are too new & a bit dim-blue. we can try him under my 14K's & go from there if you want.

Sigh is he done?

 

[DEXTER SOLIS]

is he done or splitting?

 

[bobbbm]

LOL how can I tell he is driving me nuts!

 

[DEXTER SOLIS]

if he is melting, hes definitely not deviding. doesnt look like hes foot is planted, probably looking for a spot, is he moving around the tank? if he is eating & you give silversides, try to switch to shrimp, its better for them

Keep a close eye on him, and a piece of hose handy. If he dies, he'll literally start to crumble. The only way to remove him effectively, will be by syphon.
I'll be honest, it's not looking good.

Im not sure what its doing. Sure looks strange. My nems have never looked like that when they have split. Is there any way you can make the tank brighter and retake the pic. I could try to nurse it back to health for you but im not around the corner from you (exit 37 off the LIE) I have a 30 cube with a bunch of RBTAs and a GBTA (soon to be 2)

Ugg I wasted $115 on those 20K bulbs and I hate them If anyone wants them they are yours for $70 they have 10 days on them...

Here he is tonight Under my old 10K bulbs

 

[DgenR8]

That looks a LOT better than the last pic.

20K isnt good for your anemone. Ditch em and get maybe a 14k bulb as thats kinda the best of both worlds. The anemone looks much better there although its still severely bleached.
