Anemone Expelling Waste Frequently

I suspect it's one of the two things, change in zooxanthellea from the lighting change, or stress related to the over passionate clown fish.

Please post a follow up as I am curious to see if it adapts to the lighting maintaining the same coloration, and this is just a typical reaction to such a lighting change. I have never used LED over anemones. It could very well be an acclimation process.

TIA

 

Will do, I really don't think it's an acclimation process to the lights. I have had the LEDs running since late January.

I did ramp up to 75% power (WAYYY to much, my SPS started loosing color and my corailine even began to disappear).

So now I am on my way back down to 60%, the colors on the nem are great. It's green with purple tips, they have never looked better since the LEDs.

 

Looking good this morning, I can't really see its mouth but as you can see it's looking better than last night. Sadly I won't be home at 6 tonight to see if it deflates again.

 

did you cut back on his feeding, and what are you feeding him. what type of cowns do you have with you enem. Also how long did it take for the clowns to take to him

 

i would agree with corailine on the nem just adapting to your new light. be scared if you see it flabby and drifting on your sand bed. as long as it has a firm grip with its foot it should be fine.

 

Feeding is still the same, I think they are just your basic Ocellaris. It only took them about 4 days to find the nem.
