Hmm if your other corals are ok , then i would doubt that copper is the problem .

i have no idea i havnt ever tested for it before. I guess it could come form the LFS if there treating their system and you add the bag water to the aquarium

It looks good in the pic from when you first got it. I guess just give it a little more time. The tests you posted look good to me.

seems like your parameters, lighting and flow are all good...so logic says that anemone should be good too...give it a few more days...

I think it might have been your clowns, maroons are notorious for beating them up intialy then slacking off later on, I would put it in good flow and full light for now and if possibble put a clear barrier around the nem, that way it can heal from thrashing of clowns without any interuption.

Copper can come from food too, there's hardly any regulation on contamination when it comes to fish food, heck there's hardly any regulation when it comes to people food. Vitamin supplements are notorious for being contaminated with heavy metals like lead, mercury and copper.

I'm not saying that this is your problem, I'm just pointing out another possibility for copper getting into your tank.

Glad it's ding better.

For future reference though they will usually remain inflated while they poo. If you happen to see it it will scare the hell out of you. The first reaction is "WHY IS MY ANEMONE MELTING?"

You will see stringy brown slime oozing form it's mouth for a few moments. It's just poo.

Barbara · Geekette

good reminder!!!

pezza371887 · Reef-Geek

thanks guys since last message it actually deflated again lol and is ok again, it did have the stringy brown stuff coming out and the female clown was removing it. Iv posted a pic so you can see ow its doing now

It is looking much better although a little bleached. Give it plenty of light and flow, and feed it every 3 days and it should be back to normal in no time.
