Hello Friends,
I currently have two bubble tip anemones that have shrunk down in size and no tenticles flowing in the waves. I tried feeding them shrimp pieces, krill, and other bottled foods, but they still won't get back to the size they were 6 months ago.
I have 2 maroon clowns hosting them now maybe they are too aggresive? Either way I don't want to loose them. My LFS suggested harvesting Baby Brine Shrimp and just feed my 50 gallon reef every other day a good batch. The little swimmers are bound to be eaten up by the anemones.
Are my anemones possibly too far gone to come back to life? I know it is not my lighting as I have a 36" T-5 4-bulb setup that was recommended by this website. I replace all the bulbs new and there was no change in the anemones.
My water conditions are awesome, Monitored 3 times per week. Running 100% RO water, all levels are great, even calcium is about 480.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
