What happens if an anemone died

Yea ill post a pic as soon as i can, the black stuff literally looks likes a thick layer of black jelly and just hangs out on top of my aragonite.. I just pulled the old bag out and replaced it with some fresh carbon so i think that will help a little. Carbon is the first line of defense against the toxins in the water.

Are u sure its not an algae outbreak what u have? Certainly a good pic will help. Tip: look for the "macro" function on your camera. The black jelly of doom didnt show was there right when i realized the anemone was torn up..

I was told it was toxins released from the anomone when it died.. Thanks guys for the tips, ill post pics later when i get off work, im sure there will be spots showing up by then.

Some anemones will stay closed up if they are not happy and it doesn't mean they are dying. Weather it be lighting, flow, temp, water quality, etc So it dismounted letting the current take it somewhere else.

Nems die slowly so it wont be something you notice over night. Give it a few days to acclimate and open back up. Things to look for that are a bad sign: Hides into the rock and does not come out.

Color loss. Wont except any food. It could be.. For now, if it is not attached set it in an area that it will not fall off and keep any circulation pumps off that may cause it to fall.
