The white anemone

Your white anemone is an LTA (long tentacle anemone)

Your mystery goby seems to look like this tiger goby.
A whole lot of cussing and 45 minutes of chasing, this is my tank now. I hope the tomatoes survive the trauma of switching tanks.
Thanks guys! I guess i will scrub the rock tomorrow, I’m wore out from fish wrangling!
I am lost as to what to do. In the last few weeks, I have lost everything but 3 blue chromis. They seem to get along well with the other fish, so I don’t think they are attacking them and causing the problem. Nitrates, Nitrites, PH, Ammonia and salinity are all good. Water is clear, no one seems to have ich or an infection. Snails, shrimp, hermit crabs and anemones are all thriving. Can you tell me where to go from here? What else should I check?
When you say all good what are the numbers? Does your heater work?does tank temp get cold at night because heater is too small?what kind of salt are you using?
I don’t remember all the numbers, I will test again tonight and post them. I use Instant Ocean. Heater works, I have checked it in the middle of the night too. Been through a failed heater so I was on that lol
Outside contamination is a big silent killer. Hands with lotion, sanitizer, soap and areosol cans used in the room have destroyed tanks with no signs of PH, salinity, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate or any other tests. If you use tap water the municipality may ocasionally flush the pipes with chemicals that products like prime won’t neutralize. Any of these would likely have an effect on inverts, but maybe not depending on what it is. I would run a large amount of carbon to adsorb any possible contaminate. Double check all tests at the LFS if possible as I have had bad kits and not known.
This is a tuff one bc your anemones are more sensitve to water quality than fish. Since your nems are doing well, my only thought is an evil hitchhiker like a bobbit worm or mantis shrimp. Are you finding any bodies? If so, then it’s probably not them. Definatley double check your levels at the LFS just to be sure.
I noticed you didn’t have a lot of LR, could be a hiding space issue. Which fish did you lose and in what order?
I actually have quite a bit of LR the above pic was after tearing the tank apart to get a tomato clown out. It’s all back in now. I will take water on the lfs, thanks!
