Drigo72 · 07-16-2006, 04:18 PM

I just did a 25 % water change, and in the process of siphoning the water i tried cleaning the sand bed by slightly aggitating it to loosen up some of the fish remains(pooph)

, and by doing so majority of the remains got stuck to my anemones. are they gonna eat it(is it healthy for them)

or do I need to remove it from them, but i guess thets going to be difficult because my anemone's tentacles are very sticky..

Leave them alone, which is what you should have done with the sand bed. What sort of a sand bed do you have? How deep is it and what is it's composition? How large is your tank?

Unless you have a crushed coral substrate, I wouldn't trying cleaning it. Ever!
