do that ^
like what equipments, how many lbs of rock, water flow, light, skimmer and a full tank shot will help too.
your water kinda cloudy too

 

[Nemlover99]

About 15 lbs of live rock 4 t5 HO water flow nothing currently such as a wave maker but great flow from the return on the filter, the water isn't cloudy i just can't take a clear picture of my anemone

You are right, it is a haddoni. It doesn't look to be in very good shape. The mouth being open like that is a very bad sign. If you look through the stickies at the top of the forum there are a couple threads about treating your anemone with antibiotics, but it is hit and miss and you would need a separate hospital tank.

right now the mouth is fully closed tight but it is lopsided and fell over do i need tot move it or let it move on its own
