Hello I have a 40 gallon aqua top cube tank and I have had it for about 2 years. About 4 months ago though we had a tank move to a new house. But about 2 months ago I got either a rainbow, or rose bubble tip anemone(I don't remember which one). It did fine for about a week then just closed up. And I have been struggling to find out why.
Here are the basic tank parameters:
pH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0.10 ppm
Nitrate: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Alk: 120 ppm
This is my first experience with anemones, and I just moved him a couple of days ago to a place with higher light. Do you think it is the flow? I don't have a ton of flow in my tank, and I heard they like that, but I don't know. Please help me. Sorry for the picture quality btw.
