Hallo every one .Once again I am looking for help. A few months ago I purchased a BTA a couple of days later little hole was visible in its bottom and weak later died. Yesterday I purchased new BTA, a beautiful one, yellow with purple tips. At night, it started to climb on the glass and I saw a little hole in its bottom, about ¼ inch. Today the hole is huge, about 2 inches .What is going on? Is it dying again? What can I do to help it?
I want to add that conditions in the tank are good, there are soft corals, SPSs, some fish and xenias, and they are all doing fine.

:(
 
I've never seen a yellow BTA with purple tips. If it is indeed a BTA with that coloration it's most likely dyed to achieve that color and is probably going to die unless you're a very lucky experienced anemone keeper.

Sounds like it's dying.
I'd take it out before it bombs the tank.
 
What do you mean, "a little hole was visible in its bottom"?

Do you mean its foot? Try to be more specific?

How old is your tank?
 
Yes, the hole is in its foot .The tank is six moths old, I have other anemones in it, and they are doing fine. Here is picture of the anemone at night.
Is there way to save it?

It is either dividing or is about to die. All you can do is provide it with good water and flow and hope for the best.
 
Params are good isn't enough information for us to be able to help you. Perhaps something in the water conditions are prompting division the moment it hits your tank.

Tell us: nitrite, trate, ammo; alkalinity; calcium; ph; temperature range; salinity; how much flow.
