1. Which supplier sold you the actinia? What did they say during the sale? 2. Take a photo, describe the system at least somehow - volume, devices, water parameters. 3. Is the actinia's stomach (from the mouth, in the center) turned inside out or just contracted? 4. Are there clowns? Are they sitting in it? 5. How long has the aquarium been running?

1) 54 liters, Aquael Versamax FZN-3 hang-on filter with live rocks, AQUAEL light. pH parameters 7.9 (just checked again), salinity 35 ppt. I can't say anything more. 2) It seems just compressed. 3) Yes. They settled on the second day. 4) Started in early December with live rocks and live sand. I posted the photo here.

No acquaintances at all with the sea...

How much we have in common, my first aquarium was also 54 liters, I bought the anemone from Evgeny too, although it was a bubble tip, it lived and grew beautifully, and yours seems to be a magnifica, almost everyone agrees that this is the most difficult anemone, and many consider its long-term care impossible, I don't know what to suggest, except maybe to switch to a bubble tip, but only if the water quality is suitable.

I placed an anemone in a fresh aquarium (3 months old), a magnifica. It died after 3 days. It needs to be placed in a mature aquarium. This is the seller's mistake; selling this creature without knowing the age of the aquarium.

Since when is the age of the aquarium the dominant indicator over all other parameters? Are you saying that if your system has been running for over a year with discus and cichlids, and then you added an acropora and it bleached, it's the seller's fault for not testing the system for you? With that logic, you could buy a rhinoceros and then complain about how unscrupulous the seller is for not considering that it would be cramped in a communal space.

I have a year and a half of experience keeping magnifica. The conclusion is that the animal is very resilient. However, it was very stressed when it spent two weeks without light. It noticeably shrank in size. After resuming full lighting and not feeding it too often, it increased in size by one and a half times over eight months. Measure the water parameters (anemones like increased salinity) and do not direct current at it.

1. It's a pity for the anemone. 2. It's a pity for the money. 3. It's a pity for the unfulfilled dream. 4. It's hard to break the stereotype - how can clowns be without anemones? But in essence, you should panic when the anemone detaches from the rock and starts to float; if you take it out of the water, it will smell - that's almost the end. For now, just wait and hope for the best.

Money is something we can earn, but it's a pity about the animal. I arranged with this seller to come and take a look, and if everything is fine, to take it for rehabilitation... I hope everything will be okay.

I arranged for today at 8:00 PM... No one showed up or called back... My attempts to call went to voicemail. Dear forum members, please advise whom or where to turn for help with the rescue???

Guys, help the person out, I would take it myself, but there's no space at all.
