Noticed last night that she didn’t look herself. She’s showing her mouth a lot and is going back and forth between being very deflated and deflated.
also noticed some other corals are unhappy this week (lps specific) so may be parameters??

I did directly feed her for the first time in a long time a new food. Cut up frozen smelts from central market that I thawed and soaked in vitamins. I fed her 1 piece that was eraser sized.

i also noticed that the alk was low this week so dosed (maybe too much) to lift it. It went from low 6-7 to 9-10 in a couple of days. ): I didn’t realize it would swing up so fast.

please let me know what I can do for her
4 yr old tank, she’s been in since early 2022. Sebae anemone

I’ll post more parameters asap
Ph 8
Kh 9-10
Sal 1.026
Temp 78
Newest photos on my build thread were her last week ):

She’s maybe looking a little better now, I may be overreacting. Maybe she just really hates smelts

They do this in response to light and water flow and after ingesting food

Normal response and not ‘my guts are falling out’. Thank you for letting me know :)
Still a newbie with anemones but they bring me a lot of joy.
