BTA: Wont open

timmylucas · Feb 11, 2014

My bubbletip anemone will not open anyone. He moved himself to the corner of the aquarium on the back of the tank and will not open. I target feed him from time to time but now he wont open much. He still has all of his color. But he is now under LED lighting compared to MH. I am using the arctic revive so26 fixture. Everything else seems to love it. Not sure if the lighting is the problem or not

Recent tests
Nitrate:0
Nitrite:0
Ammonia:o
Temp:79

Only thing new is candy cane coral frags that I just added. Not sure if maybe they are part of the problem. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

When did you change the lights?
Did you acclimate it to your new lights?

Ive been turning it up slowly every two days or so. About 2 or so weeks ago. He was doing fine till recently. I use R/o water. I run a skimmer, I have an auto top off. My tests seem stable. I wonder if its the new lights or candy cane corals I added in. Idk if they cause irritation to the anemone or not.
