    Tube Anenome question

    so I needed to rearrange my rock, when I set my tank up I did not put in enough caves and I hade clowns fighting eith everyone for the one large cave i did have....

    when I went to move my tube anenome I ripped his tube and he lost most of it, do they grow their tubes back or is he a gonner???? he is open now and he did eat , and stung my poor shirmp a time or two but I would hate to lose him after all we have been though...he suvived all of the horrible nitrite / nitrite spikes my new tank went through so Don and I are good friends ..well at least till tonight


    Thanks

    I imagine if he is open and eating he should be alright. Is he stuck to a rock or floating?

    There is no elevator to success in marine tanks. You have to take the stairs.

    The Tube Anemone’s “tube” is made up of mucus that they secrete. They are normally found in mud bottoms and the mud/sand and other stuff sticks to the mucus forming the tube. He should be fine and will have a new tube in a few weeks.

    Thanks Dick

    I figured as much but I could not find anything for sure on the net , I did bury what was left of his tube in a shadowy area and Don has been up and open so I am glad he will be ok he is the only anenome I have.
