4 days ago my mom won a roughly 3 inch RBTA, clarki clown, and a 3g nano setup from a raffle. both of us were really excited about it cuase we havnt had either before. we thought all would be perfect until i noticed a problem 2 days ago. the anemone had a gapping mouth, the gap was about 2inches so i was very worried. i guess from talking to a LFS owner the clarki (about 4-5 inches) was essentially "bullying" it to death. we gave the clarki to another LFS owner that night who had a LR tank with some other clarkis in it. the anemone was doing better, with just a very small gaping mouth, probably about half an inch in diameter and was really open (tantacles out and all bubbly). today, the 'nem flipped over like 3 times (it also did this 1 time before) and ended up moving about 6 inches. now it is all deflated, unbubbly, and had weird brown stuff coming out of it. ive been told that is poop but it hasnt eaten anything for a week becuase it wont take the food. im a noob with anemones, clowns, and essentially reefing. i do have a 75g FOWLRASC (Fish Only With Live Rock A Some Corals) with 3 32watt T-8s that has been up since sept of 09 (i have a 2 bulb T5 setup i just fixed so i might add that if i have to, im planning on using it to start a 33reef). it is very healthy and lively, i have copepods and corraline algae growing like crazy. i was curious if i should move the RBTA into the 75 like into a basket that ive seen people on RC use? if so where could i get one of those? i really dont wanna loos this guy so im trying everything possible to save it. what can I do
