I guess he was angry i removed like yall said and he's re-opened
Hey im new to this reef keeping thing and have a Bio Cube 8.
Its been set up for a while i 'd say 4 1/2 months.
Yesterday I purchased a Bubble tip anemone. And it was doing great until
my hermitcrab started picking on him stealing the food and pinching him.
I took the crab out but now my BTA is just curled up with his mouth open.:confused:
Is he dying how can i reverse this?
PLEASE HELP!!!
P.S. My Lighting Nitrates and Ph etc. are all great.

being how you just bought it yesterday the prognosis may not be good seeing that it has inverted. If it dies hurry and remove it from your tank before it poisons your water.

Putting an anemone in an 8.% gallon tank is a bit of a risk. That being said, I have a BTA in my daughter's 12g. BUT, these are clones I've had for years and are known to be healthy. As noted above, if it goes, remove it quickly and do large water changes. Just noticed someone has a RBTA clone for sale - these are REALLY worth the money - they are hard to kill.
