Is it normal for my anemone to close and open throughout the day? I’ve had this bta for over a month and it’s closed 50% of the time I would say. I’m just wondering there is ways to make him be open more. I feed mysis once a week to him.

I can’t test phosphates could they be causing this?

I would not worry too much how long have you had it any other photos?
I've had it a lil bit over a month right now its opening as the lights are dimming. I'm assuming maybe my light could be too strong, but I cant really lower it since my other corals have been getting ***** with me changing the lights. I'm pretty confident its not dying, but I just wish it would be open throughout the day.

Can you lower your lighting when there on full he is saying man that’s bright it wasn’t like that in my last place . Like I said a lot of people lower lighting and slowly over a period turn them up . Like above said only be concerned when it has a gaping mouth over a long period or cannot foot to surfaces. Like Stephen said photo would be good in white light just in case there’s something else going on. Anemones can take time to settle in properly to its new environment water quality/ flow / lighting.
