Just wanted to ask why my BTA is just hiding for a long time now, all my parameters are normal my tank is been running for about a year and half now. I bought it one month ago and still hiding underneath the Rock. I hope someone could help me

Can you provide pics under white light. It looks like it might be bleached but I cannot tell.
I did my best taking better photos but it's really blue. it still has a color but not that red it's pale red. my lights are not that strong for him to hide. my LPS, softies and fish are all doing alright too

It is the nature of Anemones to plant themselves in an area of the tank that they find the conditions most suitable.

That your anemone is hiding in this manner under a light which you said isn't powerful, I would guess your issue is water chemistry or flow.

Please post your most recent chemistry numbers.

Also, a full tank picture will help.

turn down the blue leds and use the whites for a clearer pic
