Anemone "ripped"
Hi Everyone,
This community has been a great resource on how to properly set up my 55 gallon. After about 3 months of successfully maintaing 2 tomato clown and 3 chormis, I added a beautiful bubble tip anemone. I was told that the bubble tip's hardiness makes it a great first anemone. After about a week of him perched up and moving across my rock, he took a terrible turn. He is upside down and "ripped" Please see the pic below. Whats going on? Please help! |
