Signs of not doing to good
Can not attach to rocks or surfaces
Open mouth all the time
Tentacles falling off
Bleaching going from full colour to white
Smell of death when you smell your tank water you won’t mistake the smell
I carnt see that much on the photo but still looks footed is it’s mouth open do you feed it . And have you a reliable test results of tank water and what test kit are you using

You just have to take it day by day and keep an eye out for him not footing anymore. Iam try to get the nem man for you he may chime in later @OrionN

I dont see this as a dying nem. They often hide due to too much light or water flow. With the light, as they hide, they are in low light area and their color and energy source known as zooxanthellae is depleted. As they get proper light and build up this inner algae, color will restore. Also feedings help such as small pieces of krill or chopped shrimp. Assure Phos is not elevated and salinity not too low

Ok thank you

Vetteguy and Orion N will give you the correct info you need I am hesitant even that I keep a lot of Anemones the wrong or not accurate could cause you problems. Vetteguy has forgotten more than I know lol . And OrionN is good with the anemones. Good luck going forward

this thing seems to have expelled its zooxanthellae. I would suggest placing in an acclimation box which is closer to light

Should i keep my light on all night or turn it off like normal

Also at this point should i give it as much light as possible

This is my attempt to get him closer to the light
