anenome help

ok i but anenome and they keep dying.. little one is still alive and kickin but my second big one just died.. same as one b4 he spewed out brown stuff turned grey made a mess in the tank and shrivvled up and died.. and he is definately dead gave em both a week to see just how dead they were or if they were sleepin.. any advice would be great

 

How old is your tank, how big, how many other inhabitants you have (that survived). I want to know what kind of hardware you are running specifically lighting. I need a lot more information.

 

lighting is important alot of times they puke or crap out there food when you frist get them. and when they die in your tank that ain't good. major pollutetion of your tank

 

um got a 4ft seemless tank 97 gallon. with protein skimmer internal and external filter blue coral grow bulb and standard white bulb setup in fluro battons.. also have live coral and two starfish and about 12 fish a mix of all non violent types..lol.. some of which are two dominoes and two clown fish.. the nemo types.... water has been tested and all test come back good. so yeah i am lost...

 

I'm gonna go with lighting..... Mine were at the bottom of my tank to start with and they started to look nasty.. moved them 5 inches closer to the lights and they are flurishing now.

 

How old is the tank? More specific on the lighting.

 

this is my tank a couple of pics might help you get an idea

 

Can you give us more specific details of what your water tests at? Everything you can...

(I also think that raising them up closer to the light would help a lot.)

 

LIghting, possible age of tank, are good reasons. You'll need to get at least a T5 lighting set-up if you want to keep them successfully long term. And for some reason I am doubting they are actually dieing. If you lost multiple anemones in that tank nothing else would be alive.

 

yeah i am buyin a quad t5 setup this week.. with dusk dawn timers.. real nice unit.. and will try movin em closer to lights.. the water test was done by local reef specialist and he said all were on the money so cant give details there.. just weird how one species of anenome is thriving in my tank and the other died..but your help is appreciated alot
