Morning everyone and all the best to you all for 2016.
I have a situation I would appreciate some advice on. I run a RSM 250 and I am having hassles with one of my Rose Bubble Tip Anemones. My system is mature and I have an Inferno in the tank too. I have had the RBT for approximately 15 months and the Inferno for 2 months. The inferno is thriving while the RBT is struggling. I feed lancefish twice a week and at feeding time the Inferno disposes of the lancefish I feed in seconds whilst the RBT takes up to 5 minutes to accept the food and then takes another 5 minutes to ingest the food. This was never the case previously. I notice that after feeding the RBT there are excessive amounts stringy brown waste being expelled from the mouth. The inferno has nice inflated tips whilst the RBT has a straggly appearance. I have tried moving the RBT to different areas and heights in the tank and nothing seems to be working. I would appreciate your advice.
I attach some photos that display the difference in health of the 2 Anemones. Because they are both in the same system where one is thriving and the other not, I have not bothered giving parameters.
