Lowman Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Probably not. He is probably purging his water and waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Mine did that quite a bit as well. How long have you had it? It might just be adjusting to your tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMiller Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I've had it for a few months now. It hasn't looked good for quite some time from being beat up by my Cinnamon clown. I've been concerned about it for ages and this is the first time that I have seen stuff hanging out of his mouth. It's also supposed to be a green bta but has been brown since with short stubby curled up tentacles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 If it comes loose from the rock, then I would be concerned. I think it will fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 mine does that if my stats swing in the ph or salinity range. and sometimes when i feed heavy garlic or if corals decide to have a war and sting each other the anemone will go inside for a few days. But i agree if its still connected, theres a good chance it will come out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I wouldn't worry, it's definitly not a happy camper at the moment but they are hard to kill. It will get better soon imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talkalot82 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 It's normaly that a bta do that when they digest they turn out their stomach. some times for a day and then they will be fine. normally if he's like that for a couple days then it's a sign something is wrong. either bad water current, over feeding, bad water, or not enough light for your anemone. normally i believe it's the light or bad water quality. but a day he's most likely digesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
