Florida Condi Anemone dead?

[ravedood]

I have had a Florida Condi Anemone in my tank for a few weeks now. It looked real healthy and it was growing. Today from one minute to the next it threw up some pink stuff and it shrunk from the size of a softball to about a golf ball size. It changed from a nice pink at a purple and the tentacles deflated. It then curled up into a little ball. Is it dying? Or is this normal? What causes it?

It is probably just pooping.
Anemones expel waste in that way.
It should reinflate and be back to its former self shortly.

Thats one hell of a way to poop. I thought is was dying. I guess I shouldn't have taken it to Taco Bell. lol

Its definetly going poo. Mine does it all the time.

How often does it do it? This is the first time I see it poop. Maybe its done it when I've been at work or sleeping. It looks like its reinflating again. Thanks guys.

I definitely want one. Anything that can poop like that and survive is something I want for sure.....
