Hi All

I know there are numerous posts like this however I wanted to reach out and get some thoughts from the community.

One of my tank is 18 months old, all fish and corals doing great but I added a Bubble Tip Anenome about a month back. Took a few days to settle and then planted itself in a great spot. Clowns completely ignored it and I spot fed it several times. About 10 days ago it really went into itself then couple days back started to move. It didn’t look healthy at all so I moved it to my external refugium so I could keep a close eye on it. It now looks really terrible.

Any thoughts on if this is on its way out based on these pics? Haven’t seen any of the green tips for around 10 days.

Thanks in advance.

Phosphate is too low. Not sure if that was the issue but I would fix that.
 
Yeah been trying to up phos with regular feedings of reef roids. Need to get a Hanna for it though as to try and tell the difference in colours between 0 and 0-003 with Red Sea test kits is impossible!
