Eel Keeper Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I had a rose bubble anemone in a 29 that didn't have enough light, so it shrank down to opening to about the size of a quarter. I moved it to my 90 that had t5s and MHs. It has been the same size for over 2 months. It doesn't seem to be getting smaller or bigger. I have been feeing it frozen misys. Has anyone had this same thing? What should I do? I'd love to have this get big again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrshall1027 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Does it move around at all? What's your flow like? Our likes a good amount of flow, so maybe adjusting that might help. Oh, and how often are you feeding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Flow, good lighting, and feed. It can take some time to recover from what it went through so as long as it's alive and not shrinking over time then I would keep things steady and let it recover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and how often are you feeding it? It has moved no more than 2 inches. It is about a foot down, and 3 inches to the left of the powerhead, so plenty of flow. Lighting is good. I'm feeding it every 2 or 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eel Keeper Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Also about 2 weeks ago when some rock fell it got split in half. Since then the anemone has returned to the same size it was before getting ripped in half, and doesn't seem like it was affected at all.

I'm feeding it every 2 or 3 days. I'd recommend coming down on your feedings, maybe to once a week. I've read that they will accept the food, but can't process it quickly enough and they can become ill. Light and flow seems to be good, so maybe just give it more time.
