What other anemone? Running any carbon? Nitrate is a little high but probably not the issue. As you already mentioned lighting is an issue.The tank is over a year now
Also I have 8 other coral and another bubble tip in the tank that all seem to be fine
The anemone isn’t excepting food (mysis and anemone pellets) and my clown pair have been hosting it
I’m using a aqua one marine light and a mini aqua zonic (ordered a better light which hopefully will arrive soon)
mag: 1320
Alk: 8.9
Cal: 490
Nitrate: 50
Phos: 0.16
(I’ve done two 10% water changes this week with a new brand of salt)

This one looks much healthier than the original, which looks bleached. It's anecdotal evidence at best, but others have had issues mixing colors. How did you get this nem? Was it shipped? If so how was it acclimated? If chemical warfare running carbon can help.I not running and carbon and this is the other nem I got it about a week ago and it is fully inflated
It is hiding and retracted which happens often when there is too much light and/or current.
I bought this nem from my LFS and I acclimated by putting the bag in the tank for 10 mins then I drip acclimated it to the tank waterThis one looks much healthier than the original, which looks bleached.

What kind of nem is it supposed to be?I bought this nem from my LFS and I acclimated by putting the bag in the tank for 10 mins then I drip acclimated it to the tank water
If I stick to doing a water change every fortnight would that help it recover?It is hiding and retracted which happens often when there is too much light and/or current.
Also assure nitrate-phos-salinity and mag are not elevated. They do not adapt well with chemistry changes and spikes which often occur in newer tanks. Stable conditions are best.
I don’t really know…What kind of nem is it supposed to be?
water changes often stress themIf I stick to doing a water change every fortnight would that help it recover?
Not long enough. Float for about 20 mins and acclimate for at least an hour while equalizing the salinity with that of display tank before release and NOT using any of the bag waterI bought this nem from my LFS and I acclimated by putting the bag in the tank for 10 mins then I drip acclimated it to the tank water
My guess is sun anemoneWhat kind of nem is it supposed to be?
My guess was a bleached green bta. Hard to tell though.My guess is sun anemone
Very possible - Hard to detect a type packed into a crevice LolMy guess was a bleached green bta. Hard to tell though.
No, that will add to the stress.If I stick to doing a water change every fortnight would that help it recover?
