I think my anenome is dying...

It's been in a 55g tank for 10-14 days. Had been eating well, had not moved around a whole lot. Yesterday it moved around a rock in a big circle, then it started to suck it self in, then it started expelling "poop"?? Today it's not stuck to its rock any longer & looks unhappy.pls help. Thank you! I can't figure out how to add a pic thru my iPhone. Now it's laying on the floor, mouth open, poop?, tentacles deflated, laying pretty flat.

 

This is the current state.

 

This is what it looked a few days ago...

 

yes it looks like its about to pollute your tank i would remove it, very quickly. Its a condy nem right?

 

Yeah you need to remove that anemone, it's on its' way out.

Perhaps post parameters if you have them, Condy's are pretty darn hardy.

 

That stinks, sorry bud. How much did you feed it in 10 days? I rarely feed mine overfeeding seems to be the largest contributor of nem death in the hobby from what I've read.

 

I removed it. ;(
I've been feeding it every other day, Mysis or Brine shrimp with a turkey baster. Guess that's too often... I have another Condy & a grn bubble tip (in a 125g) I will stop feeding them so well!

 

Good call on removing it. It didn't look good.
You should only be feeding every week or 2 and the mysis in a turkey baster probably wasn't helping. They prefer meaty chunks of food. I fed mine table shrimp and squid, and a pretty decent sized chunk too.

 

Same thing happened to me to. It's very disheartening --But you live and learn. I feed mine once a week and he is doing well--had him since may Good Luck
