Hey Minh,
If you said it dying, so why the second picture is alive like nothing happen?

An anemone totally inverted like that under extreme stress, like in shipping. It is under a lot of stress in the tank and completely inverted. If nothing change, and nothing will change since testing show "0 on everything..." the anemone will die.
Sick anemones will look good sometime and bad sometime, but every time it seem recover, it does not quite reach the good peak before. This cycle go on and spiral down until it turn to mush.

The OP may post more pictures, if the anemone looks well, and continue to look well then I will eat my humble pie. If no further picture post on this thread, I would assume that the anemone follow the usual course of most anemone that got sick.
LTA walk at night mean it is not happy about something. Bad water, too much current, too little sand... Like Dave, I know nothing about this tank, other than "0 on everything..."

Best of luck to this LTA

So the simple question was what behavior am I witnessing. An example answer is stomach blowout which could be caused by x number of situations. Please provide details on what happened over y days.

Yet the bot worthy answer provided 75% of the time is without parameters no advice can be given with 0 follow-up.

People ask out of ignorance hoping for help and this is a huge pet peeve of mine because I rarely see the one asking for details ever coming back. Its the equivalent of saying "FIRST" on a news articles comment section.

So, you provide a picture, with little-to-no info about the set up, and want the folks who would help to provide you a long list of possible problems and solutions (it would be a long list, because you haven't provided any info).

So, the simple answer appears to be that you want the folks who are answering to put in all the work, when you appear unwilling to do the work on your side of the equation.

I'm sure you already know this, since you referenced people asking for more information as your pet peeve, but things like specific water parameters (Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, PO4, temp, salinity, alkalinity and pH would all be helpful - and I know they aren't all zero) would help. Also, your tank setup would be nice - including tank size, age, lighting (including wattage, age of bulbs (if appropriate, or percentage of maximum if LED)), type of filtration, chemical additives or resins used, bare bottom/crushed coral/deep sand bed, other inhabitants, maintenance schedule (including type of salt and FW (DI/RO/Tap/Well?)), and any relevant history of the tank (have you used meds in this tank previously, was your house sprayed for bugs the day before, or...?).

Finally, the minor amount of info you provided said that you fed this anemone two days prior. Fed it what? What size? You can feed too large a piece of food, especially in a new, not-settled-in anemone, and cause a significant problem.

So, to recap; Fed two days prior, zero on everything and "dug it out" tells us not nearly enough for anyone to be willing to invest their time in trying to figure out what you have going on. Oh, and if people making a post with no info and then not returning to the thread (within a few hours?!?) bothers you, imagine how people feel when they actually try to get additional info and the original poster doesn't return to his own thread for days? Kettle ==> Pot.

Based on the way this thread played out my guess is the nem perished. I tried asking tank info in another thread by OP where he/she was responsive to the thread and once I asked for more info and tank age poof gone and never got another response. OP is on other threads giving adivice so they are still active. Odds are we will never know any more then what little we do.

So I stopped posting because the replies were argumentative and unhelpful. Also someone pmd me with better info which is another reason I stopped posting.

The nem did perish and Im betting its related to the feeding of a silverside along with gut rot. It recovered several times until it didn't (the spiral was dead on from a previous post.

Btw my pet peeve is the standard water parameter request followed by 0 follow up.

Anyway, all I know is this nem ate and died whereas the origional nem refuses food and is alive...

Very likely. Silverside can sometime be spoiled and will kill any anemone that eat it.

^^ What he said! (And thank you)

It's a group discussion forum, I'm not the only one that can provide answers, but OP is the only one that can provide info for those answers, and I still don't see much to go on, other than op has an attitude.

The reason we ask for details is we could shoot in the dark guessing forever at the posibilities.

We ask for params in numbers, time running, and gear, type of anemone, you gotta do some of the work dude, it's your tank, we are not paid for advice, this is not my job, I have a business to run, and I donate my time here when I can, and probably do that way more than I really should.

And we are thankful for it!
