Fingerless anemone

[jwhitty]

A couple months ago, my anemone went on a rampage and killed two of my frogspawn. Then a few weeks later, she went for my third (and most healthy coral) frogspawn. This left my last frogspawn virtually untouched and she lost every single one of her fingers.

I thought she was dead yet she still continues to open up and do her thing, without any fingers lol.

Lately she's been looking worse and not sure she'll make it. Anyone have any advice on how to take care of a nem who can't grab food?

Well, your anemone was not outright hunting or anything, it was probably just moving around and stung what it came in contact with.
You need a lot more info on tank, maybe a pic of your nem, and they are tentacles, not fingers.

I know she's not actually hunting lol but it sure felt like it when I came home to a bunch of dead coral.

I posted a pic but it doesn't seem to have stuck... Here's before and after.

Is it rare to have an anemone with fingers?

The tentacles will grow back, I had one that lost them all and they grew back rather quickly. If I remember correctly it was less than a month

 

[jwhitty]

Hmm she's been naked for quite some time now. Hope they grow back.

How did you keep it fed for that month?

If you have good quality proper lighting they don't need to be fed.

You should get it away from that coral, that probably killing it
