Hey,
re-update, two weeks ago my long tentacle anemone lost a fight to my filter intake, so i put him in a hospital tank to see if he was kicking at all ... he was moving around, so i put him back in the main tank due to insufficient lighting. he didn't eat for about 7days then i got him to eat a frozen shrimp, and now its been another 4days (around) my clown fish love him so they're always there, which makes it hard for him to hold onto food even if he wanted it. So i have to kind of protect it to see if it'll eat. The main problem now is my Maroon Clowns have decided to be a mated pair (haha) and they are "nesting" which involves them making huge variations in the sand depth... my anemone is being moved to where they want they're nest to be and it keeps ending up by the power head. I don't want the anemone to get pulled in like what happend with the filter and hes not strong enough to move around without hte clowns interfering (though he did move alot a week ago, at night he was on one side, in the morning he was not only on the other side of the tank but he was on a rock which was at least 3" up.) To make a long story end, I ordered a In-Tank Refugium with a powerhead so I keep the anemone in there untill it gets its strength and regrows damaged things, if its still damaged. I know the in tank isn't that big but I don't have spare power compacts or strong lights to keep the anemone in a seprate tank and this way the fish will still see him if they needed? haha heres the link to what i bought, do i need to put sand in the bottom or what else should i do for the poor anemone. I feel bad I wasn't there to stop him from the filter, it was behind rocks in the back of the tank I dont know how he got there!!! :sad
