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
