I have a 29 gallon tank with a Bubble tip anemone. On sunday I had a death in my tank go unoticed. Since then my Anemone has been extremely stressed. I did an emergency ten percent water change. My anemone now wont grasp the food i place on its tentacles and last night it bleeched. What can i do to save him?

run carbon and leave him alone.. you will probably just stress it out more

Thank you :) i just worry that he will starve - should i just feed my fish more Mysis shrimp and let that circulate around the tank? Maybe he will grab it?

I wouldn't worry about it starving.

IMO, people overfeed their anemones. Mine are lucky to be fed every 3-4 weeks.

Feeding your fish more right now will just cause more issues --- will increase the waste in the tank, which will effect your parameters which are already an issue after the death.
