Is there something wrong with my Rose Bubble Tip Anemone?

jormanvf · Mar 21, 2024

Hello guys, I am a little worried about my Rose Bubble Tip anemone, she has been this little for a few days and next to her is a Rainbow Bubble Tip and she is looking great

My parameters are

Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 5
Phosphates: 0
Salinity: 1.025
Alkalinity: 9
Ph: 8.1-8.2

I am using an AI prime HD and they are receiving around 190-220 PAR in that location

I don't have any powerheads in my tank since I have a return pump of 317 Gph that I had to turn down the flow a little bit because it was very strong

I honestly don't know what could be wrong with her or if that I just need to let it be

it looks ok to me. I have heard hit and miss about chemical warfare between different types of BTAs, so that's always something to keep in mind. If it isn't moving and it isn't dead, it's generally happy. BTAs will move where they feel most comfortable.

Phosphate zero if true, real bad number for all life, and may invite pest algaes and bacterias.
Bump that one into the .05-.15ppm range.
Very blue…..make sure they get some whites.

How old is your tank? How long have you had the BTA?

The tank is 11 months old and I've had her for almost two months

I am feeding more often to raise them, thank you for your help
