New Carpet Anemones!

Omri · 09/06/2020, 11:59 AM

Just purchased a blue gigantea and purple haddoni (I think - unless it’s a gigantea and I can’t tell cause it’s closed and acclimating.) I don’t have a qt or hospital tank. What measure can I take to ensure a smooth transition into my tank. These have literally arrived from Cebu yesterday so I think it will take some time for them to adjust and acclimate. What signs should I look for of problems?

How are they doing now? Common signs is deflating, mouth inverted out or gaping and dissolving/melting. Then they need to be in quarantine for treatment. Should be treated separately. But full daily water changes in quarantine also go along way.
