This is my purple base green tentacle bubble tip anemone. I have been having issues with it for the past three weeks since I moved it into my larger tank. It never looked like this before but now this is all it looks like this is literally what it looks like all day everyday. It seems to me like some tentacles are deflated while others are inflated. It has not moved from the spot I put it. All of my parameters like Ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, salinity, etc are all in check. I would move it back into the other tank but he has really sunk his foot into a deep part of the rock and I cannot remove him without damaging him. So I would really like to solve the problem in the tank. I thought of lighting or flow but I'm sure it would have moved by now. Any advice would be appreciated. Maybe someone else has experienced this.

Thanks.
 
How about Alkalinity and Calcium? You didn't mention those. By the looks of your first pic, I would say those parameters were in check because of the presence of coralline. However, your second pic has none. Not sure if this is because it's a newer tank or because those two parameters are not in their respective reef range.

Hmm... I did dismiss that earlier because I have been using kalkwasser for a little while so I will take a look but the rock is pretty new so that's why it doesn't have any coralline
