Anemone shrunk


Yzma has shrunk.
Guess thats no surprise, in the way of captive anemones.
but she was almost the size of my hand and was still eating well...well, when Emmitt didn't steal

but now its about the size of a dime.

so, what do i do? put it out of its misery or wait till it goes meltdown and nukes my tank.

or do you think at its current size i won't even notice? and leave well enough alone.


i imagine at this point there's nothing i can do to revive it

Icebear,
What kind of anenome? My BTA shrunk, moved all around, and looked for all the world like it was headed south on me, and then it divided, so now I have two rose bubble tipped anenomes for the price of one! My advice, obviously, would be to leave it alone, but keep a close eye on it, and if you're really worried put some fresh carbon in there. In my 72 gallon tank, I've had an anenome die before with no ill effects on anything else in the tank. Hope it works out for the best!!!!!

its a condy and it stayed put for the most part for quite a while and then i noticed i was seeing less and less of it. it looks pretty much the same as before only in miniature now.
