    My anemone in the past week has to turn over and stick it's foot in the air and start pooping. I flipped it back over and it kept sticking its foot in the air again. The tentacles are nice and big and thick and the mouth is shut tight. What is wrong with my sebae anemone??? Also it is not fully open but still looks nice.... What's happening?????

    I have no answer for you.
    but my son bought a LTA 6 months after he had his tank running. a week later it turned itself over and then it started to dissolve. He was not patient and the nitrates had shot up.
    How is your sebea doing so far??

    Here are some photos of it. I am positive that, that is the foot. The first two are the foot and the last one is of the mouth. I took the picture of the foot then flipped it over so i could take a pic of the mouth.

    I bought some stuff of a guy who said his anemone was doing the same thing, he said he found out that he was over feeding it. He said he only feeds it a little at a time now and only once a week and is doing great. Hope this helps

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    How long have you had the anemone ?

    How old is the system it is in ?

    What type of lighting do you have ?

    Looks to me as though it has a tissue injury on the pedal disc (foot). The fact that the seabe is not attached is bothersome as well. I would look to parameters, possible preditation, possible injury due to a over zealous clown. Watch is closely for further decline you do not want it to begin to decay within your system. Good luck.

    to me it looks like its dissolving, i doubt it would make it. but i hope it does. its also bleached pretty badly. good luck
