These animals live hundreds of years in nature...
They die very, very slowly in our tanks if not properly taken care of.
Two months of observation is simply too short period to draw ANY
conclusions.
Similar slow death issue applies to many marine animals: sea cucumbers,
urchins, sea stars and some corals. They simply deteriorate too slowly for
an aquarist to know what is the cause of death.


Okay, I deserved that. but, I'll stick to what works for me.


Of course - your tank, you have the say what to do with it...

You will know for sure you take good care of your bubble tip anemone
if you notice it is growing, and after 6-8 months it will double in size.
If you do not see it growing than you know you do something really wrong
because it is very fast-growing animal.
