Well triple A didn't answer my question about brown slime, which is a bad sign itself.
So what do you call a shriveled nem, with an inverted mouth giving off zoo?
You seem to be calling it OK.
I call it nem decline!
Nem decline is not a mystery disease! Just go through the posts and you will find dozens of reported cases. I'm not sure what is the purposse of denying this?
Why don't you post directly on my: What is nem decline thread?
It is not a "disease", it is just something that you made up to give an excuse for an anemone dying.
Did I say that it was "OK"? No, I didn't, so please do not put words in my mouth.
Dozens of cases??!! Just because you state that an anemone died because of a disease that you made up does not count as a "case"
My purpose in denying your disease is that it is a cop-out for why an anemone died. One needs to figure out why the anemone actually dead, so that issue can be addressed. Just saying that it was "nem decline" does nothing to help another anemone from dying. It could have been improper collection, a newbie purchasing anemone that was already bleached/dying (( collection/shipping is very hard on anemones )); improper water parameters, etc.
Just using a blanket term for an anemones death does more harm than good, wish you could see that.
I have been keeping anemones for the last 20 years, with the longest one being in my care for 13 years before I screwed up. I have seen 2 different answers from you about your experiences with anemones, one being about 3 years (( with E. quadricolors only )) or 30 years....
My point is try to help others care for their anemones and if it dies figure out why, and not just say it was "decline".
