What could be wrong with the quadricolor anemone? The aquarium is 2 years old, and I've had the anemone for 1 year. A month ago, it started to move around and doesn't inflate itself. I also have crassa anemones, which inflate beautifully.
Water parameters:
ph: 8
No3: 0
Po4: 0
Kh: 7.3
Mg:1410
Light: Ai hydra 26hd

Definitely looks unhappy have you tried running some carbon. Have you changed anything in your reef flow or lighting

Your water is too clean for them. Nitrates and phosphates can't be at zero for BTAs. I'm kinda surprised your Crassa anemones like it. Your kH is also a bit low, but the nutrients is more likely to be the issue.
That’s what I get for skimming over instead of reading properly. Good shout from your self

Twoja woda jest dla nich zbyt czysta. Azotany i fosforany nie mogą być zerowe dla BTA. Jestem trochę zaskoczony, że twoje ukwice Crassa to lubią. Twoje kH jest również nieco niskie, ale składniki odżywcze są bardziej prawdopodobne, że problemem będą.

I keep my nitrates between 10 and 20 ppm, and my phosphate between .1 and .2 ppm. My bubble tip loves it! As another on here said, they need nutrients in the water, as do most critters really. Zero on either of those is a recipe for problems.
