Bringing back anemone

[brayden]

I have an anemone that I just fished out from under a rock. It has been stuck there for a couple of months and I just now found it. Right now it looks like this little ball of mush. It is just starting to open up. I fed it a little piece of silver side and it is just starting to open up. It has attached itself to the glass. Can anyone give any tips on how to help the revitalization process?

The best way to revitalize it is to leave it alone and let it do what it wants.

Well actually I did that the first time and it got stuck under a rock and has been slowly detoriorating until I could finally fish him out. I would imagine if I let him do it again he would most likely not make it.

Bubble Tip

Lighting:
2x65W PC actinics
2x96W PC 10K daylight
1x175W Halide
1x250W Halide

Reason for different Halides is clams are on stronger side and inverts and anything else that requires less light is on the other side. The anemone is on the 175W side, which really isn't thtat much light considering the tank is 24" deep and he is on the bottom.

just let him do his thing and make sure your water quality is as good as it can be and you have plenty of light
