I have an anemone that is not doing too good. I took him out of the tank yesterday, decided to put him by himself to see if I couldn't get him going somehow. First I found it hard to feed him because he always wanted to be upside down or in another ackward feeding position. And to be honest I am not real sure how to feed these creatures. I have another anemone that does great. He is in a great position to feed and takes it in. This one does not. Temp is 80; Salinity is .1265; ph 8.2; ammonia was 0 then yesterday it is now .25; nitrite is 0; nitrates were extremely high, but managed to get them down to 20 as of yesterday, so a couple of more water changes should get them to 0.
The anemone is all shriveled up. Does not blow up like he did when first put in tank. I have him in a large measuring cup now with live sand, rock, small heater, and air bubbles that I have pinched off so as not to get too much. Additionally, he is sitting I have this light that is actually used for people with SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder that I turn on during the day, and at night nothing. Should I add something to this water? Any ideas? Thank you for your help.
