RBTA near dead experience

May also want to run some carbon as well.

 

Just keep your water quality good and it has a good chance of making it. You can propagate nems by cuting them in half so each side has part of the mouth and it will grow into 2 nems. There pretty tuff that way. Just got to keep infections out.

 

I just clean out my reactor and add
1/2 cup of carbon before the accident happen. Should I add more, I can add more to my sump if it help it recover.

 

Thank all for reply... My heart is broken

 

I will get some pics when I get home.

 

Can I used epoch to glue it down in place? It stop wandering around or there a trick for placing it..

 

It will wander until it finds a place it likes. There is no way to force them to pick a spot. Cover your power heads until it finds a spot.

 

What can I used to cover my powerhead?

 

No to gluing down, that will kill it.

As other have posted, if your water parameters are good and it's not being harassed it very well might pull through.

The stringy things are call Mesenterial Filaments, part of the internal supporting structure of anemones.

Check you ammonia levels in the coming days to make sure the anemone is not decaying, but I would by no means throw it out. As stated previously they can under go a lot of physical damage and be fine if the water parameters are fine and no other inhabitants are bothering them.

 

RBTA's are pretty solid anemones so you MAY be alright

Awhile back a customer of mine had a pretty decent sized RBTA get sucked up into a power head and totally shredded it all to hell, Well about 2 months later I was doing a water change and noticed he had 5-6 little RBTA's all about 1-2"s across and within 6 months they were all 4-5"s across...So like I said you MAY be alright as long as the anemone was healthy
