I am four weeks info my new tank. I have two blue damsels and one clown. The Florida sea anemone does not look two good and it moved itself behind live rock. I have a Red Sea max 130. Water tests ok .

Need to go a little deeper into what your testing for. Saying that your water test's ok is a little vague. Can you tell us what your testing for? How long are your lights on for? What's your feeding regimen? Need to go deeper for someone to try and help you.

Ammonia-?
Nitrates-?
Salinity-?
Phosphates-?
Nitrites-?

IMO a tank that is only a month old is way to young to be even thinking about adding an anemone. Your tank needs to be established for a while before adding any livestock like that to it.

Filtration?
Power of lights will affect anemone?
CUC?

How about....did you let the tank cycle before adding fish,anemone and anything else?if you set the tank up and put the fish in there right away they might not survive.

Thank u all for ur advice. I did take a water sample to the aquarium store for testing. Ph 8 2 ammonia 0 nitrate nil. Calcium was very low. The anemone is hanging on. It is a Haitian anemone and someone told me they don't last long.

you shouldnt put the anemone in a cycling tank....... If you have high ammonia then your cycle is just begining.. Read up on the nitrogen cycle of saltwater aquariums.

how many lbs of live rock do you have? How are you 4 weeks into your cycle and have ammonia? Whats your nitrites?

 

[Aquadicted]

is that ph 8.2 or 2 ammonia?
