My dad has a 54 corner and a frostbite clown fish for his anenomes. He has gone through several anenomes and they all look like they turn themselves inside out, any idea what’s wrong
Why is my dad having such a hard time keeping anemones?
- Thread starter white specter crayfish
- Start date
lighting is a 250 watt 10k halide, he has 2 wave makers on the corners of his tank so the flow is good, the nitrates are 0-10 ppm, the nitrite and ammonia is 0, his calcium and magnesium are a bit low which he is dosing with but an anenome wouldn't be affected by that, he has 1 frostbite clownfish, 1 starry blenny, 2 mandarins, one chromis, one lether jacket file fish, some fire shrimp, a pistol shrimp and watchman goby, some emerald and hermit crabs, one sea urchin, and a bunch of corals, I only know of the duncan coral, torch, cabbage coral, sea fan, and some polyps and mushrooms
it is a green long tentacle anenome, his tank has been running for years, he used to have a pink bubble tip that split 3 times but it died years ago
5 ppm last test (a few weeks ago), no ammonia or nitrite, no phosphate issues, note he has a VERY VERY aggressive hosting clownfish, about 3 inches long, he knocks the anenome over sometimes, this is the 4th anenome that he is having trouble with, I am wondering if maybe the clownfish is annoying the anenome and killing it, note they do fine for about a month or so and then it starts to die

calcium magnesium are fine, I believe he said his alkalinity is something like 9 or maybe 11, i dont remember for sure
