I have a 150 gallon tank purchased from individual with the live rock and everything. Only added new sand. 4 months in my husband bought me a beautiful Colorado sunburst anenome. Tank is now going on six months. It did well for a few weeks and then my clowns laid eggs by it and it was definitely stressed by all the activity around it as my bristle tooth wanted to eat the eggs. It has been closed up for a month. I switched lights and put them on a ramp up ramp down. I try to feed him by turkey basting oyster feast and small mysis shrimp. He has stayed in the same spot since I got him and his outside looks purple. He does open a small bit everyday but won't extend tentacles.
My parameters I test almost everyday with that being salinity 1.025. Cal 430. Mag 1320. temp 78 Ph 8.3, phosphate was like 0.12 but I've got it down to 0.03, my only thing that really is fluctuating is alkalinity and it's not crazy swing alk stays between 8 and 8.7, no ammonia or nitrite and trace nitrates. I do faithful water changes with RODI water
I am distraught over this nem and want to save it. Should try to move it like put it in a basket and closer to light or leave it alone.
Is there anything I can do?
