My parents have a 90g SW reef tank that has been up and running for 4 years now. In the first year that their tank was set up, they added a gorgeous green carpet anenome. When they got it, it was about the size of a baseball.. now, 3 1/2 years later its the size of a basket ball, sometimes bigger. It gets fed squid, krill, or silversides twice a month, plus whatever the clownfish feed it. It houses a pair of Percula Clowns that lay eggs behind the anenome every three weeks.
Since they have had it, it has never moved. Never had a problem w/ it . When I was over at their house last week, the anenome started acting very strange. It rose almost to the top of the tank, (w/ it's base still on the ground) and erupted like a volcano, spitting up it's previous week's food all over the tank, making the tank turn murky white. Since then, it's only done it one other time, so a total of two times.
All other corals are fine, fish are fine.. Tank parameters are all normal.
Would there be any reason for the anenome to act this way??
