I gues im still just learning but I have a small long tenticle anemone in my 30 gal cube. I recently got another anemone Carpet i think??? from a guy and it no longer grabs my finger when i touch it, wont atach to anything and is looking sad....
I read that i am crazy trying to keep them both in their together after the fact... I dont know what to do i guess..
I have another SW tank set up in my spare bedroom but i dont think the water quality is the best... But I put it in there thinking the other anemone is whats bothering it in my 30....

What should I do I dont want it to die if possible but I realize it is probably inevitable...

Any help??

Carpets need high lighting, and Needs a MUCH larger tank and will eat your fish.

Carpets need to be in very well established tanks. they are some of the most tempermental and hard to care for of the Anemones

Well he didn't make it. oh well lesson learned.
But my other one looks great!

Can I feed it frozen shrimp from the store I noticed walmart sells little ones.

I feed my anemones krill. It is in small enough pieces they can easily eat it.
