Hello all,
I am new with this hobbies. And I have issue with my Bubble tip anemone. It look like not happy and dying? The tips aren't big as from begging whrn it come to my tank. After I changed the light LED, he moved to the corner below the rock and stay there, I can see the colors isn't great anymore. He still stick to the rock, and open/close during the day and my 2 clownfish are still with him. What shouls I do? Below are picture from him.
My tank detail:
Pennisula 35 cm
1 wave maker
Light MJ 165 Blue (13h/day - 80% max).
Last test:
Temp: 27o C
dKH: 10
PH: 7.5
CA: 380
Salinity: 1024

Here when I added to the tank 2 weeks a go:

Get your salinity to 1.026
This will help raise your ph and calcium.
Slowly allow dkh to come down to 8 and keep it between 8 - 8.5
Lower your temp to 25.5
Keep your nitrates between 10-20 and phosphate 0.10 - 0.15
Oh salinity was 1026, and I though it high, then I decrease to 1024 after changing water. Do this common for others corals too?
I used a fan for my tank and this help to get lower 2 degrees (i live in Van, so quite hot out here). Should I think about a chiller? (quite expensive).

If 27 is lowest you can get it should be fine but 25.5 is what I prefer. 25.5 will help to have more dissolved oxygen in you tank which will also slightly help with your ph.
1.026 is good for all corals.
Where is Van?
For a second I thought you were saying you lived in a van…lol
Not that there is anything wrong with living in a van but would be interesting to see a reef tank in one…lol
 
The light is more than likely what affected the nem. Lower the percentage and have it only come on for ten hours per day. After a few weeks start to slowly increase percentage.
However, your parameters are more concerning to me. The nem can move to a shaded area like it did.

Hahah, wrong input from my phone. I live in Vietnam :). The Salinity was 1026 from beginning, I will re-calibreate to1026 then.
 
He looks ok, most likely shocked from increased light and flow. I’d leave him alone and wait it out. Let him acclimate to the changes.
yeah, i might need to watch him few week to see how he acclimate to it.

I used a MJ 165 Blue, setting intensity at 80% for blue in 6 hours only, the other time the intensity is lower, and moved slowly. I can see my 2 clown still host him everyday, and he is able to take small piece of shrimp every 2-3 days. How is the flow, do anemone like moderate flow? I intend to test the parameters every week, is that egnough? Salinity will be test every 2-3 days.
