As above says nems like a bit of nitrate and phosphate. And yes the anemone doesn’t look good but I have seen them bounce back . If it eventually not footing any more I would pull it but if it is still attached to rock and there is no death smell when you are close to the water then let it be . Also I use salfert test kits and they are good. Ph Alk nitrate mag cal phosphate. Also get them nitrate and phosphate off 0 put them up a bit this could be coral sucking it up or not enough feeding if it’s corals taking it you may have to dose for nitrate. What I would do is slow down on water changes feed a bit more and see if they come up if not then maybe dosing . How long do you run your skimmer per day . In nano tanks I don’t use skimmers just regular water changes Keeps things under control . Just keep a very close eye on it keep checking for no footing/ smell of death you won’t mistake it and cloudy water . Bits dropping off it . Then it’s time to pull it . Your water quality has to be stable no big swings . Please keep us all updated thank you
Thank you for all the advice! I truly appreciate your insights and guidance. I run skimmer 24/7 and the only thing i dose is AF Power Elixir. I'll keep updating.
