    condi anemones..

    what happens when they start to die? i know thay can nuke a tank quick. i found some spider web looking things in one of the corners, but both anemones appeared fine. but i dont wanna take chances.

    are the strings definitely coming from the nem?

    could they be coming from vermatid snails on the rock work?

    post some pictures of the nems of your worried that should get you some valid opinions on their condition

    When anything dies in my tank this happens.. also when anemones "poop" they close up and look shriveled and have this come out of them. Is normal if you feed them regularly.
