anemones

[MaineSalt]

I was wondering what and how to feed my anemone?

And my mushrooms seem to have bleached out is this due to being to close to the light? I lowered them and they improved some but not much.

Thanks

You don't NEED to feed them. You can turkey baster some mysis or other small meaty foods. What lighting do you have?

I've had my Anemone for a few weeks and I've fed him shrimp a few times. Thanks ill keep doing what I'm doing.


I started with the new Fluval led but its not very powerful just a ton of 1 watt LEDs. A few weeks ago I bought a used Metal Halide and its super bright and my zoas are growing a lot better....I've attached a few pics

Don't overfeed the anemone. Maybe once a week at most.

He also never moves....he's in the same spot I put him in when I added him to the tank

My one inch clams growing fast....I bet he's grown a quarter inch in a few weeks

Only thing I'm not pleased with is all the bubbles sticking to everything....they seem to be coming out of the sand under the live rock

Take a look at pics of dinoflagellates and see if that's what you have.

It doesn't really look like that. It's almost like air bubbles coming out of the sand and just getting caught on the live rock. Once a day I use a turkey baster and blow them off then it takes a few hours for them to build back up. They don't seem to be bad when I first turn my lights on but as time goes by they get worse. Do others have bubbles stuck on their rock?

I've had small bubbles on my sand when I got a diatom out break.

 

[MaineSalt]

Two things how do I take care of a diatom out break and


What's this coral doing it went from looking normal to looking like this with this stuff coming out of it in 5 min.

 

[Dav3]

Diatoms will die off on their own. And looks like the coral is pooping.

The brown stuff is coming out of the mouth in the middle of that head?

Phew thought it was having a bad spell

Thanks
