Green carpet anemone mouth open.
What all should i be testing for with the anemone.
Is it good bad nothing to worry about.
The green carpet anemone nbsp stichodactyla gigantea also known as haddon s anemone is best kept on a soft substrate bottom.
He has done really well grasping and moving almost constantly.
Mushroom mouth open all day normal.
I put a beautiful green carpet anemone in my 30gal last night.
If it is a green bubble tip anemone it should be a medium to dark green in color.
Is this a normal open brain mouth.
Also what is considered moderate flow.
Like many anemones the green carpet makes an excellent host for most types of clownfish forming a symbiotic relationship.
Unless you have money to lose don t buy anemones that are light pink or light green white or see through.
The haddon s carpet anemone has a very potent sting and may harm corals and other anemones as it moves about the aquarium.
But his mouth is still open real wide.
Watch out for signs of bleaching.
Bleaching occurs when an anemone is exposed to prolonged extreme high temperature conditions.
I probably should have started a new thread the anenome mouth should not be wide open unless pooping or eating.
Got a carpet anemone saturday night.
I normally wouldn t be too worried but the hermits are eating what.
Strings out of mouth.
However this morning it looks like its mouth is open and its just hanging out in the tank not eating i cant find anything online that explains this at all.
An open oral cavity with the guts sticking out is definitely not a good sign.
The mouth of the anemone should be tightly closed.
He stopped in this spot this morning and there is this spirally string and what seems like little tiny balls of something.
A healthy carpet anemone should have a closed mouth.
Hey guys i need some advice asap.
Is it direct fow or tank turnover.
They are capable of stinging and semi aggressive so should be kept away from other anemones and corals.
Everything looks great and the color is beautiful.
Once the lights went out it closed a little and he started to fill with water and get shape.
Is this normal when they are stressed.
Once in place carefully move some sandy substrate around the column and increase the flow rate back to the normal output.
Doing so will allow the anemone time to settle in and bury its foot completely into the sand bed.
Basically my tank has been a fowler with some snails and crabs.
