I came home from work today checked out the anemone I bought Saturday it looked good, that was 4:00pm.
Did my normal daily stuff, about 7:00 took a shower (like you care) glanced at the tank around 7:30ish couldnt see it. I thought it went behind a rock it was on, for the last two nights it hid behind the rock til I turned the lights on the next day. Sure enough it was back there but it was about a 1/4 the normal size and oozing some brown slime and the tentacles were a dark greenish color and it was normaly a brown color.
I hope I did the right thing by taking the rock out of the water and removing the dead anemone from the rock, rinsed the rock with RO water and placed it back in the tank. I did a parameter check after: Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0, and PH 8.3.
Any input on what caused this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich
