Omg :(

Ok i was trying to boost the pH a little so i put instant ocean sea buffer and i wasnt thinking and put it directly into to the tank and a little tiny pebble hit my LTA and it shriveled up in a second! Did this hurt the anemone?

Is it still breathing?!

Yea its starting to open back up slowly guessing its alright? Well lesson learned.

Both LTA's and Haddonis can/will fully retract into the sandbed in less then a second.

Yea its crazy but hopefully the pH buffer didnt damage it.

Was more of a sarcastic question, I felt as though an action such as deserved a response to fit.

What is your pH? IMO, I wouldn't use any pH buffer, ends up causing more issues then helping. There are better ways to raise your pH that won't cause as many issues.

What is wrong with using pH buffer?

What is wrong with using pH buffer?

If you are using a true pH buffer (( not to be confused with buffering by using a Alk supplement and/or kalk dripping )), it is only a temporary fix and the pH will go back to its "normal" level, creating swings. In addition it will mess with the Alk levels.

Better off using a 2 part (( cal and alk )) if your levels indicate, dripping Kalk and/or having more fresh air in your tank room --- excess CO2 levels in the tank area can drive down the pH levels.

So, IMO, the key is to first find out why one has low pH levels and address it that way.

Too funny. That made me laugh.

If you want to see something close fast, get a feather duster worm.
