What's wrong with my green bubble tip!!!!

You need to keep a very close eye on it because if it does die, you will need to remove it quickly. They can foul your tank badly if left for any amount of time, they will start to fall apart like wet toilet paper. Dont asl how I know. Im one of those guys who got one before I was ready back in the day.

The fact that its still anchored and seems to be accepting food is good. You seriously need to take the advice youre getting here. When you do a water change, match the current tank salinity and temperature exactly. Make sure the salt solution has completely dissolved for a few hours before you sdo the water change.
Dont try to fix the tank with perfect perameters in your new water. You have to match whats already in the tank. Once youve done this, then you can ease the salinity in the direction necessary. same with temperature. If your salinity is too high. remove a 1/2 gallon from the tank and slowly replace it with fresh water with a slow siphon with air tubing.. do this once or twice a day until youve reached 1.023. If your salinity is too low, when you do your water change, fill the tank 1/4" higher than normal and as the natural evaporation occures, you salinity will increase.

Temperature is a no brainer, just adjust your heaters.

Wait a good 3-4 hours to test your water after any changes you make to give things ample time to mix.

I hope you get serious about improving your water quality and create a suitable home for your critters. :)
 
So exactly how many water changes have you done since you lost the first anemone? My tank of years got monthly water changes. It was well established. I do weekly water changes with the one I have now.

If you can't rebound this guy don't even think about trying another for a very long time. They recommend a year to really have an established tank before getting one.
 
I fed him some spirulina flakes today, so it would be an easier digestion and he'd get a little nutrition. he took it fairly well. He's still stuck to the rock, and closed his sides around the food being that he doesn't have tentacles. I fixed the salinity, which was about 6 gallons of water change and my tank is 55g, so it wasn't drastic...
 
What do you mean "it wasn't drastic"???? I hope you did not add all 6 gallons all at once. That is a drop of 10% salinity. That is a huge jump. The problem is too high salinity but much more problem is the quick change in salinity
I would have add 1 gal per day for 6 days (plus the usual daily evaporation)

How do you maintain your salinity? We add fresh water to replace the evaporated water. Do you add 6 gallons of fresh water in your 55 g tank to decrease the salinity back to where it should be? I just cannot believe that this is what you do and don't think that it is a huge change.
 
It looks dead. I feel bad for your creatures, you have essentially tormented them, whether you meant to or not. Please learn to take the advice given to you, and invest some of your time/energy in researching this fantastic hobby before buying anything else. Thanks.
 
Might want to setup a fuge or skimmer. Reguar filter-what does that mean. Bio-wheel is that the cheap filter with spinning wheel. I thought those were for gold fish or something along those lines. Didnt realize people used those for reef tanks.

LOL i just read you said i dont do water changes. Maybe you should keep mice or hamsters. Probably not they would get wet tail. Hhm maybe a stuffed animal collection.
