    Anemone troubles

    Tentacles on my anemone are disappearing. What’s going on? If all the tentacles on your anemone are shrinking, it is normally a sign of starvation. If only some of the tentacles are missing, shrinking, or deflated, it is a sign of physical damage. Anemones will grow quickly if they are in a healthy environment and have bright lighting and a secondary food source. However if the lighting is dim and they don’t have a lot of secondary food, the anemone will start to wither away as it consumes its own body tissues to stay alive. One of the most striking signs of this condition is when the tentacles become shorter and shorter – appearing like nubs or bumps on the oral disk. Anemones can recover from this condition, but only if they are placed in a healthy environment with good water and proper lighting. Secondary targeted feeding can help, but it is normally a short term solution if other factors are not in line. Anemones can be physically damaged (and lose tentacles or have shrunken tentacles) by many sources. Frequently it can be predation by another fish – either a clown or small angel or other reef fish. Anemones can also be stung by large LPS colonies like frogspawn or bubble corals. Finally, anemones can be preyed upon by large worms (especially if the damage only occurs at night). There are other (less common) predators as well. The sign of predation is always localized damage on the anemone. http://www.carlosreef.com/AnemoneFAQ.pdf

    Anemone troubles

    Added any new stock lately? Have you done any changes? If not, its your NITRATES :lol: :lol: :lol: Just kidding
  8. The problem is that it is almost impossible to extract any information from these debates :-?
  9. I run a full siphon with a backup, its better to be safe than sorry The full siphon is quite sensitive to changes in the system I would recommend using an auto topoff to keep the return pump head pressure constant.
