Hello! I'm a noob arround here :p

I've had an Anemone for the last three years, she's been super healthy. When i first put it inside the fish tank she picked a spot and stayed there for like a year. then she moved and for the last two years she's stayed there.

A month ago i bought a Clown fish, and symbiosis has been succesfull.

3 days ago I started treating my blue tang cause he got Ich. Went to the petshop, they gave me Pimafix to treat it. Intructions said add 1 tbspoon per each 10 gallons. My fish tank is 50gallons.

I just poured 2tbs and i didn complete the treatment since i dint like the way the water became.

I isolted the bluetang and moved some of my rocks.

yesterday my anemone shrunk and started moving repeatedly from side to side. her tentacles srhunk and now she is all small. She also changed to a draker color, she was ligh pink now she is purpleish woth really light green tentacle tips.

I'ver read water conditiond and stress cause this behavior.

help?

thanks :good:
 
Skim heavily, run activated carbon, and waterchange frequently. Sounds like the anemone didn't like the primafix :( Also, what lighting do you have and how old are the bulbs?
 
Quite possibly sulking due to the Primafix

Keep a very close on it & if it is dying remove immediately
