Does anyone know the reason why my rose bubble tip isn't fuller looking as usual?

 

[vic67]

Have you changed anything recently? Lighting, flow, etc? It looks stressed.

 

[AquariaRusso]

No everything has been the same for almost two years now. Started looking like this the other day.

 

[marine2463]

Do you have any shrimp in the tank specially peppermint

 

[AquariaRusso]

No, just a coral banded shrimp .

 

[AquariaRusso]

Ok guys, first off I have a carpet anemone and a rose bubble tip both don't look good as of right now, they ate and are active, the rose bubble tip closes up and then opens, and the carpets color is all a lime green it used to red and dark green. I have not made changes recently same setup as was introduced.

How old is the tank? Your live rock does not look vary mature.

 

[AquariaRusso]

Rock is about 150 days.

 

[Alucard]

Rock is 150 days but tank is two years? :confused:

Include test results of parameters. How long have you had them and what lighting do you have? Both are strong light dependant

 

[AquariaRusso]

Salinity .025, nitrate/nitrite 0ppm/ ph 8.1 / calcium 380ppm

 

[AquariaRusso]

Light is a led display 48' long.

 

[BoneXriffic]

Light is a led display 48' long.

More specific? Output really. Bta tend to be happier in strong metal halide but can do fine with led if its strong enough. And how long were they in your tank at this point

 

[AquariaRusso]

They are pretty strong leds, I don't know the output boneXriffic , I'm at work right now wish I could look at the specs of lighting they have been good with that lighting for awhile I would say 6 or 7 months and then they started to change color and almost sink in more.

 

[BoneXriffic]

....the bta may be preparing to split....ot theres something in your water they reall dont like....maybe high phosphates?

 

[AquariaRusso]

dang, I'm having difficulties figuring out what it is, I guess we will let time solve this. Thanks a lot Bone for your advice and time.

 

[BoneXriffic]

Np hope they fare well and good luck

They'll close up for a variety of reasons, including harmless processes such as excreting waste. Usually it's not big deal. It's when they open up (mouth agape, poor feeding response) that I get worried.

If it's changing color, I would guess the interior algal populations are in flux. Are you feeding the nems?
