Help with new anemone

Sasq40 · #1 08-27-2016, 11:24 PM

I just ordered a anemome from jl and asked for a carpet around the 100$ range and they gave me one labeled as white tiger carpet. He hasn't looked too healthy since I got it and it seems to be getting worse. Here are some pics of what I got, the first is the day i put it in after about a 2.5-3hr drip (on Thursday) and then next one is from today. Now is it dyong/dead, should I be concerned, anything I should be doing? My two rbta and tube anemome have all been doing great just this one's been odd since I got it.

It looks like it is dieing. Do you have a quaratine tank with lighting you can get it in? They get infections that can spread to other anemones. I just lost 2 earlier this year by adding an infected 1 that died.

It's falling apart. I moved it into qt in hopes it might perk up but I doubt it

Did you contact J&L when you received it?

I doubt it left J&L in that condition. Sometimes "poop" happens along the way.

I sent them an email right away saying i was concerned with the anemone as it didn't look right, it didn't resemble a carpet at all when i got it. When i was on the phone with them the salesmen said most of their carpets looked pretty bleached, but said he found one that looked in good condition.

It fell apart overnight in the qt, my god what a disgusting smell, still feeling sick after cleaning in an hour ago ha. Since it was dying in the tank but i got it out in time is there anything i should do? i check my parameters and i noticed the nitrate had gone up, so i did a little water change to lower it.

Also anything i should do to the equipment in my qt tank since the anemone died in there or just let it all dry out?
