Need help with my bubble tip anemone!!
 

Hey guys,
So I'm brand new to the saltwater tank world. I've bin running a fresh water tank for years and just decided to make the switch since my aunt was looking to get rid of her saltwater. She brought it to me and helped me set it up but the bubble tip anemone she brought has closed all the way up and isn't Loking so good. How can I help relieve the stress from it and help it open back up? If you have any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks!

I'm guessing people will start to ask questions like:

1. What is your tank setup, tank size, lighting, filtration, etc.
2. What's current water parameters.
3. What are the tankmates?
4. How old is your tank?

Usually you have to leave the anemone alone to let it deal with the stress. Anemones are amongst the hardest animal to take care of in saltwater hobby. A lot of people simply avoid them.

It's a Cora life biocube 29. It's got the lights and filter that came with it. The bioballs have bin changed out for rocks. There's 13 lbs of love rock in the tank a clown fish, and some coral. We had done a test strip on it and everything read good. The salt read between 1.022 and 1.033 and the tank is currently at 78 degrees he tanks bin established for 5 years and has bin doing great up until today when my aunt relocated it to my place. Everything seems alright except for the rbta. I've attached a picture of it, thanks!

Sorry it's a brownish ( green under moonlight) and a mushroom type coral polyph

Its probably trying to acclimate to the new tank, also if your using the stock biocube light, imo its not ideal fot the bta, though it will keep it alive.

It looks very bleached in the pic. it needs some major TLC. It doesnt look good under ur current setup. I give it a less than 1% survival rate. Even if it was to be put under an ideal setup right now, it would take 3-6 months to nurse it back to health.

You MUST keep your alkalinity stable at 1.025 +-1. why is your alkalinity varies so much?

i think u meant specific gravity.

Oh I mean salinity. Crap...

So... stable parameters are always to the goal. I agree with the 1.025 target and +/- 0.001. Just don't try to make a big change quickly.
