Anenome Issue?
Hey, i have a pink rose bubble tip anenome for about 2 weeks now and to me it doesnt look like he is doing to well. I just recently discovered that i should technically be feeding him. So I've been feeding him a feeding a serving of mysis shrimp every feeding if i can find him. He normally disappears over night and comes back around 3 pm for the day. it makes zero sense and it kinda bothers me, in the photo does he look okay?

No photo. Does it eat.
Fwiw there are very few pink anemones. Usually they are bleached rbta.

Needs a password. Can you upload somewhere else or make it public?

That link doesn't work for me. How long has the tank been cycled? What type of lighting do you have?

My son bought a rbta that came bright almost florescent pink. He ate and stayed pink for abut 2 months. Then he shrank and stayed mostly hidden for about two to three months. He ate but would not inflate. When he finally emerged and inflated, he started coloring up to the classic, beautiful Sherman rose color.
Just keep feeding it. They are pretty hardly. |

In the photo, it definitely does not look okay, ( bleached/ no nutrients ) how long has your tank been set up?

First question that most are asking is how long tank has been set up? A new set up can not handle an anemone. A tank really should be set up a year if not more to properly care of an anemone.
Second what are your parm? Third what kind of lighting do you have?
