Hi everyone, Happy New Year to you all.
Three days ago I added 2 Clowns, 1 Cleaning Shrimp and this Anemone to my new tank. When shown the Anemone in the tank in the Aquarium it was already retracted and looking unwell, however the "expert" said that it just required a water change and would be fine in my tank.
So I brought it home and they all went into the tank. The Clowns are doing fine and seem happy, as was the Shrimp I thought that was very busy on Live Rock setting up his cleaning station etc. However this afternoon when I returned home I found the Shrimp at the bottom on the tank motionless, after further investigation I discovered it was indeed dead and I removed it at once.
The Anemone has looked unhappy not only in my tank but also in the shop as mentioned before. This evening it has started to bulb around two of the stalks and I'm unsure what it's doing. I did plan to return to the store tomorrow morning with it as I'm convinced it was ill prior to purchasing it.
I've attached two photographs of poor quality I'm afraid as they were taken on my cell phone.
Can anyone shed any light on the condition of the Anemone from these images?
Thanks.
