The Puffer Forum

Overnight my BTA anemone moved into Big Puffs (GSP) cave. I guess he must have got stung by it; one side of his belly has gone streaky and black, and his green has faded lots. Even his black spots are looking faded. He seems to be swimming as normal, and eating, but he is sitting unusually still (none of his fins moving) at times.

Is there anything I can do to help him out, or is it best to just leave him to recover?

He should be ok but you could treat with SW Melafix.
This may happen again.

Anemones can be quite deadly for puffers. You may want to consider moving one of the two.

I didn't realise that; everything I've read says that they're not poisonious to fish, that they just may irritate them.
