Anemone help

[jormanvf]

Is there something wrong with my anemone? If so, what could I do?

She has been retracted since yesterday, my tanke is been running for almost a year

The light that I have is Noopsyche K7 Mini

My parameters are
Salinity: 1.025
Ammonia: 0
Nitrates: 5-10
Nitrites: 0
Ph: 8
Alkalinity: 9

The first two pictures were like a week ago, she looked happy and the third one is today

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

what intensity is the light? It seems to be reaching. How is the flow, any powerhead in the tank?

I can't tell much from your photo. From what i can see it looks fine. How long have you had the anemone? Anemones don't always look the same. They will retract and close up for a varity of reasons. I would just let it be for now. Better photos would help tell if there is an issue.
I am not familiar with that light. It looks very blue and not very bright. Anemones like a lot of light.

I've had it for almost two weeks, the intensity right now is blue 20%, whites 12% and purple 20%, there is one powerhead in this tank that comes with it, is a AIO IM 15 Gallon

I doubt that is enough light of your anemone.

 

[DrkNMighty]

Agreed. The last picture almost looks like it is stretching towards the light.

Turn up your lights...... way up!

 

[jormanvf]

So that's what you guys think it could be? More intensity?

 

[ReeferLou]

Crank up the lights - that seems to be a 60W max power light. SO you are using 20% of it = 12W.

 

[DrkNMighty]

If you do increase the intensity I would do it gradually and not all at once.

 

[jormanvf]

I raised the intensity of the light considerably and she seems to be much better

Feed it small pieces of raw shrimp to make it grow

She ate mysis shrimp this morning, is that okay?

 

[ReeferLou]

Mysis is a great food for them. Raw shrimp and raw salmon too for when they get larger. Hope they grow out for you and split. My 1 started like in my signature pic on left and 3 yrs later I have 3 large ones.

 

[jormanvf]

Thank you for your response, I honestly think I am going to replace my light, I don't think is enough for my nem, she is been stretching to the light all day today

 

[ReeferLou]

Did you try it at 100% - the white light is the band that will give the growth and PAR

need to turn up the lights a bit more

You think an AI Prime or a Radion XR15 would be good for this tank?
