Hi everyone, I’ve spent way too many nights stress about my stressed/sick anemone. I can’t figure it out. My parameters are fairly close to what they should be and water changes with RODI water and I’m using instant ocean reef crystals. I supplement with reef buffer or the 2 part calcium and alk mix depending on what is needed.
PH-8.2
KH-11
Ca-480
Phosphate- <.25ppm
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate- <5ppm
I double checked all the tests but they were done within an hour of me feeding the tank. I’ve been testing daily and it holds fairly well.
Lighting is aqueon seascape at 10% white and 80% blue with rotating RBG led’s.
Filter is the fluval 207 at 50%ish flow with a spray bar to spread the flow out.
We were doing great for a couple weeks but then hid in the rocks for 2 weeks. Came out today and was fully open in a different spot but within an hour shriveled up with slime coming out.
All other coral is doing great. Fish look great and are eating fine. I’ve never had luck with anemones until this one. Before and after pictures added.
