Are my anemone doing well?

[YaBaBo]

Are they in good health? I have had them for almost a week now, and I am scared they might not be so healthy. The condition of the water is almost perfect. I found out that today, the salt level was a bit high. The other corals seems to be fine. How do you know? Does teh anemone seem ok? btw, the first 2 picture is anemone one and the last two is another anemone. They are two different anemone!

How do you tell?

 

[KathyC]

The tentacles are plump looking, the mouth isn't gaping open and it has a good shape. They also seem - from the pics- to have placed their foot down and are not blowing around in the tank. all good signs.

At times anemone tentacles will deflate when they are expelling waste, but as long as they plump back up they are fine.

What are your concerns?

What lighting do you have and what size is the tank?

 

[YaBaBo]

Its in an extremely small aquarium. 5.5, they dont move around at all, and they are in a place I har orignally left them in.. and as of the lighting, i have this LED light I had bought on ebay, and I am using the hood from aqueon 17 watt, I know its low so Im also using this other light which is 6,700K 27 watt. I alternate it witht eh aqueon light which has the LED on it.

Might want to move those zoas in the last pic if it is only a 5.5 gal tank.

Whats the name of that species of Anemone?

 

[fishman1069]

They won't last to long in that small of a tank. Are you planning on putting them in a larger tank?

 

[Hefe-Weizen]

LTAs get large. They need strong light. They look OK, but they are stretching. May need more light.

They look good for , but with that lighting and water volume, keeping then healthy for long will be extremely challenging.
