BTA not wanting to eat.

[GreenPuffers]

I came home today and it was dead. All fallen apart and jello. Dont know what happened. I had it in a breeders net just in case, so I at least didnt have to clean bits and pieces out from everywhere. Thanks for all the help. wont be jumping back into the BTA thing for a while I think.

Sorry GreenPuffer! Check your water parameters to be safe! Wish you were closer I'd give you one of mine.

Ya I did a waterchange too. Everything else is of corse doing well. Someday I will try again.

Ouch, sorry to hear you lost it. At least you could get it out easily and not have it nuke your tank.

It *could* be splitting or started to split and is now healing instead. I've had 'nems start to split on their own then apparently change their mind and heal back up. When one of mine did that, and split to its mouth, it would eat but the food would come back out through the split in its side. Can't say this is what's happening to yours but it's possible. Mine have survived and done fine after that, I just left them alone and let them heal.

Same here, mine actually had 2 feet for over a year until *we* decided to move tanks. Ended up gently tearing it apart when I could not get em out of the crevaces on 2 different rocks. Hours after the *forced* split, one of the halves split on its own. Now I have 3. All 3 had half of their mouth exposed for a few days, and healed up fine.

I wouldn't reccomend this technique with a new anemone. I have had this one for almost 4 years.
