bta puking

friend called me in a frantic today...my bta is puking white/clear slime as if its pukin its guts out... I asked him what many here first ask... what were paramiters and he doesn't know yet... however 2 days ago they were good. lfs sed anyway... other then water peram's what can cause the anemone to do this?

 

what have you been feeding it ? and what goes in has to come out also they will invert and expel old water and up take the new water from the new system also in a few days after being added to new water, How old is the tank ? less then a yr its not a good idea to add one unless you are sure its 100% finished spiking with NO2 and ammonias .. You may want to find another LFS if they had nothing to offe you for advice..

 

I know that they may throw up if they are over fed. It could have been injured I suppose.

It is really going to come down to the parameters I think. If they are off, it can have bad results for anemones.

If he is target feeding, find out how much, how often, and what is being fed.

 

I have 2 anemone's long tenticle and i think 1 is a bta maybe it could b a coral also idk.. but i feed the anemones brine shrimp target feeding and a couple days i will feed live/dead guppies. but is every other day feeding too much or is it how much u feed them

 

If you have proper lighting then there is no need to ever feed them other then what they will snag out of the water.. and if you insist on feeding it then get some ray bait squid cut in to nickel sized chunks and feed it one a month.. But all it really needs is light..that feeds the animal they all have host a symbiotic green algae capable of photosynthesis inside that produces the needed sugar carbons to keep them fed long term.. Hand feeding is a otions . More you feed the more waste they produce and thats not good for the water..
