I hope that this is enough info.
We have a 92 gallon reef tank with live rock and live sand. It is very new (less than month old) and has only a few creatures in it, two chromis, two clowns (added yesterday) and a bubble anemone. (Yes, I know that we shouldn't have added anemone this soon, impatient husband did this, so don't shoot the messenger, please!) There are also a couple of critters that came with the live rock/sand, a hermit crab, a small snail and a small starfish.
We added the anemone a week ago. He would not stay where put (didn't know that those guys moved!) and put himself under a rock. He seemed okay there at first, good color, etc. On Thurs/Fri he pulled himself completely under the rock. Then his color started to fade significantly. Last night he was very pale, almost white, and shriveled. His mouth was wide open and very white. I thought he was dead. This morning he has color again, is not shriveled (but not as full looking as before) his mouth is closed. We turned the rock over after noticing that he had some life in him in order for him to have some light. He hasn't moved from this position (yet).
We did not quarantine him. We have not put any meds into the tank.
It is a 92 gallon, we just started a refugium tank yesterday for filtration. Before that we had bio balls. The lighting on the tank is one of those three light coralites (high, medium and moonlight).
Husband tested the water last night and said it was all "good", I didn't ask him for the numbers so I don't know what they are. I can do the tests again if needed.
Thanks,
Kimberly
