Saddel Anemone

Kankashala · 03-11-2008, 02:37 PM

I got a saddel anemone at petco the other day. My water quality is perfect and have 5 watts per gallon for lighting, but he doesn't seem to be acting to well. I was able to nurse a Condy back to health but this one is proving difficult. His color came back as he was a creamy white when i got him, now he is green. But his mouth is open quite abit as you can see. Any suggestions let me know

What type of lighting do you have?

Kankashala · 03-12-2008, 10:48 AM

Metal Halids and compact florescents 560 watts (outer orbit HQI/ compact flourescent/ lunar fixture) and I have a 75 gallon tank

make sure you water quality is good and hope for the best. there may be some light shock going on as petco doesn't have great lighting. your water quality is probably a lot better than petco's also but that is another change for the anemone. give it time. it may also need to be fed, but i would wait on that.

good luck, great color by the way, i like him
