Need help with BTA anemone

This is what it looked like back in August when Nitrate was 13 now it’s 5

You have you answer. The only thing that changed was nitrates and phosphates than I recommend raising nitrates and phosphates. Nitrates 10-20 and phosphates 0.1. There's are ways to increase both from feeding a little more or dosing both nitrates and phosphates. To do either properly you need to have test kits. Api is not a reliable test kit.

Mine looked just like this. Exactly. Decided to just leave it alone after advice on here and it’s making a recovery, finally. I just kept my parameters stable and after about a few weeks I noticed it getting color back and responding to food in the water column. I now feed it regularly and it’s coming back to life.

October ‘22

January ‘23

really didn’t start to make a recovery until December of ‘22.

Leave it be. Monitor it and just keep your numbers stable. My BTA did the same thing. I eventually just left it and it bounced back on its own. Do bring up P04 too .08 - .10 ish though.

Thriving FS? That FS looks very small, you should really stop spot feeding every 2 days and get phosphates back into the water column. Late reply, but I hope you fixed the issue.
