I have two BTA in my 45gallon tank but they have been closed for a while. Maybe once a week they move around the tank but never open. I try feeding them (not sure it matters when they are closed) I have 250+ PAR lighting where they are at. Parameters are such:
Temp-76.6f
Salinity-1.025
PH-8.1
dKH-7.3
Phosphate-.06
Mag-1410
Cal-390
I have two random direction nozzles on the return and have 2 powerheads.

Any ideas?
 
When anemones are dying they often just shrivel away. I would do a water change and hope to see emprovement. They need to settle into a spot, open up to capture light and extend the tentacles to capture prey. If they are not doing this they need another place to live.
