searchhp y Greetings! I've had an LTA for a couple of months
now, which hosts with two f. perculas. While I have been
assured by the LFS that I purchased the LTA from that everything is
fine, I hoping to get a second opinion from
you. I've gained so much knowledge just from daily
readings of your answers to FAQ's, I'm sure my tank and its
inhabitants have benefited. <We're glad to hear that!> I
have attached a photo of the anemone. In the mornings
before the bright 10000K bulbs come on (and at the LFS before I
purchased it), it is a beautiful aqua green
color. It's tentacles are long and
thin. However, after some time under the bright light,
it more than doubles in size (to about 10 - 12 inches) and its
tentacles become much shorter and sometimes curl. What
really concerns me is that under these lights, his color changes
from that aqua green to the brown/tan that you see in the photo.
Over night, after the lights go out, the whole "cycle"
begins again. Is this normal and more importantly, is
this an indication of a healthy anemone? It's
tentacles are always sticky, it's mouth never appears to be
open, and it accepts food whenever I target feed it (all what I
thought were good signs). I'm just looking for some
reassurance I guess. I have 520 watts of PC's - 4
65W actinics and 4 65W 10000K bulbs in a 28" deep tank which I
thought would be sufficient for an anemone. Thanks in advance for
your help. <Good news, Your anemone seems quite healthy! The
coloration change is caused by the different Kelvin temperatures
hitting the anemone and causing different coloration pigments to
come out. As an example, the anemone may seem to be bright green
under 20,000k bulbs although under 6,500k bulbs, the anemone may
appear brown. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be worried
about. During the night, it's also normal for the anemone to
release fluids in its tentacles which would result in deflated
tentacles. During the day the anemone will replace these fluids to
fatten the tentacles which will capture more lighting. To repeat,
your anemone looks extremely healthy! If you have any further
questions, please do not hesitate to email us back!> Take
Care,Graham Stephan |
Mystery marine creature... is it safe? I have seen a very small creature sticking out of one of my live rocks. sorry I have no picture at this time I will do my best to get one if it is needed. This creature is like a very small feather looking thing that is what appears to be white in color with small black rings on it. I don't know if this is the actual creature or just what it uses to feed itself. There are a few other creatures that I'm not for sure what they are. they are small round hollow looking tubes that look to be attached to one of my live rocks. three are yellow in color, one is a blue-ish color, and the other is white. they have a lot of little hair like things that stick out the front and form a circle like a feather duster but they are too small and attached to the rock to be feather dusters. <Many, too many creatures like you described to guess. Nearly all are harmless and signs of good tank health.> Another question is how long does it take a long tentacle anemone to be comfortable in a new aquarium and is there anything I can do to speed the process. I purchased one a week ago and it seems to be very stressed. it gapes from time to time but not for long periods of time. it also swells the top of itself up and retracts it tentacles. is this normal or is there something I might need to change. by the way I have them in a 5 g aquarium for the time being the one I had broke and these are the ones that survived. for the time being I have a 50/50 bulb on them no more than 3 inches above the water behind a plastic shield (does the shield need removed or replaced with glass) a 2 stage BioWheel filter, 50 watt heater, and a 7 inch bubbler. I add a few supplements every other day. for instance iodine, calcium, strontium & molybdenum, and essential elements. Plus I have a 50 watt halogen that points toward the tank from about 2 feet from it. if there is anything you can do to help me it would be appreciated. <Your anemone does sound stressed. It is very unlikely that a 5g aquarium can be equipped to care for it. Biowheel filters are not really suitable for reef tanks as they tend to promote the accumulation of nitrate. The lighting you described is probably also not adequate for anemones (at least strong VHO required). Controlling salinity in such a small tank will be difficult as well. Please discontinue any supplements except for calcium and alkalinity (buffer). Iodine, Sr and Mb can all become toxic very quickly in such a small tank. I would recommend that you test Nitrate, Salinity and alkalinity and take steps to correct any of those that are out of range. For the well being of the anemone (and any other animals in the 5g), please replace your broken tank ASAP.> thanks Dustin sweet <Best Regards. Please do write back with any more questions. Adam>
A bit of advice for an LTA Good evening! <Hello> First of all, I have to say that I love your site. It has helped me a great deal in creating my saltwater aquarium. <Thanks!> I have a few quick questions about the newest member of my tank. My tank is 55 gal, it has a protein skimmer, a power head, 25 lbs of live rock (I know I need more, but sheesh that stuff is expensive), sand substrate about 3 inches deep, 2 "false" percula clowns, yellow tale blue damsel, Hawaiian tang, 5 red-tip crabs, 15 turbo snails, and of course my new pride and joy a purplish LTA. I placed the LTA in my tank 3 days ago and my clowns are slowly starting to take to their host; however, the LTA doesn't seem to be acclimating to his environment very well. He is still "wandering" around the tank and has not 'planted' a firm spot. The LTA at least accepts food, which I hear is quite the task for most anemone enthusiasts, but mine has a great appetite, grabbing the food with his tentacles and working it into his mouth (I know you know how it works, I just fine it so fascinating!). LTA's mouth is great, no cuts or swelling and it never "gapes" open unless he is opening it to eat or excrete something. The body seems to be a "textbook" orangey-red color with no wounds. So my question is, why hasn't he found a "spot" yet? Am I just being impatient? Please any comments or suggestions you might have would be much appreciated. <I honestly wish I can give you an exact answer to why you're anemone is moving. Unfortunately, I can only guess why. First of all, Anemones will move to find a perfect environment to live in. Anemones have no central brain so they cannot adapt to an environment which is "almost" perfect. The anemone could be moving for simple reason, such as a bit too much current coming from the right, or possibly from larger reasons such as lack of lighting or improper water conditions. Overall, it's normal to have an anemone moving around in its new environment. However, if your tank does not meet the standards set by the anemone, the anemone continue moving around until it dies. In my opinion, intense lighting is one of the keys to success. Why do I say that? Because from my experience, Anemones have done the best under more intense lighting (such as Metal Halides), however, I have had several species of anemone do perfectly fine under power compacts. There's really not much you can do for the anemone except to continue feeding it. Eventually (hopefully), it should find a good area and settle down. Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email us back anytime. Graham Stephan.> Thanks, Jess
