time to chunk her?

[ramtmac]

Looked like this last night and all day today... She has basically spit out her insides. hasn't been eating but has regained alot of color from being bleached.
Still looks awful today. She isn't disintigrating though

Is this a different one or the same one that got caught in your HOB filter?

 

[ramtmac]

its the same one. She got caught a couple of times but was healing. Actually started to look better then when i got her. All of a sudden i woke up and it looks like she is puking her guts out

 

[ramtmac]

She had gotten alot better, attached, opened up regularly, gained back color, believe it or not. She was starting to look nice again. But then all of a sudden...?
We haven't changed anything the tank?

 

[rayn]

Watch it. If the tentacles start to look like they are disolving, get it out.

 

[ramtmac]

Thanks. But why in the world does she look like this? Any idea what shes doing?

 

[rayn]

Well it could be pooping if you just fed it, or the later where it is dieing. I would just watch it very closely. The one of mine that died looked great the night before. Then the next morning it was gone.

 

[ramtmac]

he hasn't eaten in a while. he won't take krill. and whats out of his mouth definatly isn't poop. its like.. his insides.
just wondering if anyone things i should just take him out or watch him for another night

Try feeding smaller bits of food, mysis or brine shrimp, or even some cyclop-eeze. Looks like everted mesenteries....which doesnt look good

Any updates??

 

[Pinkskunk]

i am not sure why people would recommend try feeding a sick/dieing anemone some food........ maybe to accelerate the dooming process?

the ONLY thng you can do now is watch it carefully and ready to take it out before it kills everything else in your tank due to the pollution. base on my unfortunate past experience, anemone looks like that has .01% survival rating.

I would take it out. I had a anemone look exactly like this...as I was taking it out it started breaking apart and SMELLED so bad when it was finally out of the water. Take it out just to be safe. As stated previously..the odds of this anemoen turning around are VERY slim.
