    what do i do!!! the whole tank is a "milky" mess, its a 46 gallon tank and the anemone is an H. crispa

    funny thing is, fish are fine, corals are open...so is this bad/good/doesn't affect the tank? it smells all mucusy and i am worried the whole things gonna crash, so i am lining up RO for an emergency change....:confused:

    should i?

    oh i plopped fresh carbon in a filter for backup...:eek:

    helphelp!

    no unfortunately its a boy so it just made a mess!!!!!! after a 25% change last night and the one i will do just in case this morning, its been a long night. Everything looks fine, i think it just looks worse than it does anything.
    Its a "sebae" anemone a big one....

    Wow. That's a beaut. I think you did the right thing with the additional carbon and a little water change. I'd think that's all you need to do now and everything will pull through.
