Lta turned inside out

[Jhead85]

My lta was doing good for the last week last night he was halfway inside out and this morning he's the same way..it's tentacles are still out and about but about half the size when I bought him..my water is all perfect..everything from

Crabs to coral is doing great..kessil a150w is my light for the tank..also my lta has never latched onto anything since I put him

In there..he ate two days ago a few shrimp and all was well until last night..he seems to be deflated to half the size ..any thoughts on this

Just wait. My lta did this regularly, so did my BTA. Keep an eye on it, but odds are it will be fine.

 

Also, how big is your tank? I've kept nems under a kessil 150, but it was a 20 gallon and they chilled RIGHT under the light, not saying it can't be done, but you might need stronger light, IMO.

I got a biocube29 kessil is plenty for that tank..just never had a anemone before..all corals fish and inverts r just fine..

Right, IME, I found that my nem in your situation, found the tallest rock to get maybe 9" directly under the light, my light being a kessil 150. I was pointing out that it seemed that if I wanted to keep a nem under that light, it was going to be RIGHT underneath it. Just my experience.

 

Tell us more about your tank, how long have you been set up? What are your params? Lighting cycle? Stock?
