Condy Anemone-blue

[laughlin]

I HAVE 2 CONDY ANEMONES AND AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY FOR DIFFERENT LENGTHS OF TIME THEY SHRIVEL OF AND TURN BLUE ANYBODY KNOW WHY

 

[Avian]

I'd imagine that would be the anemone going through osmo-regulation (i.e., absorbtion and purging of water to equalize body chemistry with external environment), which is quite normal for an anemone to do.

Couple questions...

How long have you had them?
How often do you feed?
What is your photoperiod?
How long have they been engaging in this behavior?

Thanks,

17 hours is a bit much. Drop it to around 10-12 hours.
