Hello hobbyists. My anemone is starting to shrivel and I want to know if this is something to be concerned about. I have another newer one that is doing well. Both are being hosted by a maroon clown. I feed them directly 3 times a week and the maroon also feeds them.

Often this happens when:
Tank is too new (less than 4 months old)
Light is too bright in intensity
Too much flow
Elevated Phosphate level
Starvation (feed mysis shrimp)

Ah. I’ll dim the light and try feeding more. I’ll check my levels. Both of them choose to be on the side of the tank with the fan. They do not like the other side of the tank for whatever reason
