Green Bubble Tip Anemone Help

patrickpernell · 10/01/2017, 12:53 PM

I have a 32 BioCube with a clown and a couple other fish. I went and purchased a green bubble tip anemone yesterday. I dripped and floated for 3 hours. I put it in the tank and all was good yesterday. Until I woke up this morning. It seems to be releasing some white cloudy "milky" substance.

Any suggestions on how to fix? Or why it is doing this?

See pictures.

It looks like it was in bad shape before you took it home. It's bleached pretty good. There's not much to do other than make sure you water parameters are perfect. Don't cook it under lights until it restores its coloration. Best wishes

If those are pink dots on the tips of the tentacles, it is not a gbta.

I was going to say it looks more like a sebae anemone.

+1. Looks like a half dead Sebae to me. It's bleached but if it will attach then it has a chance , needs lots of light I had mine under a 250w MH. If it continue's to turn inside out pull it.

My anemone does that from time to time. Try feeding it and see what happens. Mine will also do that right before it takes a mega dump. If it falls off the rock or starts to melt, it's toasty.

I was under the understanding you shouldn't feed your nem when it's stressed

I let the anemone decide...
