long tentacled anemone

I have had a lta for 6 months or better, was doing GREAT, hosting a false perc. I had a GHA outbreak, and now he is not doing good at all. he is all closed up and in a ball, the clowns dont even visit any more, any guesses, the perameters are all good. BTW the reason for the Gha outbreak was phosphates. What could be going on?

 

check all your levels, also what are u feeding the LTA

 

well the clown was feeding, so i wasnt

 

have you changed your lighting at all? They can be sensitive to lighting changes. Maybe a change in the light timing?

 

yes changed lights, went from crappy two bulb flouresents to a mh with actinics.

 

might be a temporary reaction to the lighting change; mine looked dreadful for about a week or two when I changed my lighting

 

yeah but now he is behind a rock in the back, I dont think he can get any light, will he die there? Had a cody on time went back there as soon as i got him and i didnt see him again till he was nothing but a snotty looking blob.

 

It could be the shock of the MH. Po3/4 doesnt effect LTA's. Have you checked your paras?

 

has the anemone improved at all over the past couple days?

 

yes he is back out behind the rock, and slowly opening up more, I dont want to loose anyting in my tank, but i really dont want to loose him, he is sooooo cool.
