Supplements for Anemone

SimpleAznMan · 11/05/2009, 12:22 AM

I have a White Sebae Anemone, it sits in a cup shape and regularly inflates and deflates... Have had it for over a week. It still won't grab a hold of anything with its tentacles. In fact, the tentacles either shy away or shrink up when something touches them. I was just wondering if there are any supplements I can direct feed to it or put into the water to help it get better.

Well, white is generally not best way to start out, but they often come bleached and can come back.
I would leave it alone till it settles, no need to spot yet.
Need tanks specs and time running.

I found it drifting around the tank slowly not being able to grab on to anything... with its mouth wide opened... so I assumed the worst and got rid of it before it destroys everything else in the tank T_T

The tentacles completely shrunk to its body and shriveled and twisted too. Never saw it like that before.
