More info needed. Background story, and parameters is a good start.
Well we bought him when he was pretty small and we’ve had him for 2 weeks the clowns do keep eating his food and he was pretty well for the 2 weeks but a few days after he’s not looking good, tank is 4 months old, water changes every month, Salinity 1.025, Ammonia 0, Nitrate 3, Nitrite 0, PH 8.0 anything else needed?

Mag and cal reading? Tank is still young if you were to ask me.

Also lighting. Start low and increase. Nems are not big into light as are corals. My parameters are not the best in my current tank, but they are steady. And the nems are doing really well now. Had lights running at 80% and they were ticked all the time. Dropped down to 50 and they love it. And are actually all blooming on the high parts of my rock platform I have in my current tank.

Also don’t forget flow. Most like a medium flow.
 
They didn’t like the flow for me but I can increase it a bit more if you wanted to and I’m directly feeding and it’s starting too look way better cal is 390 ppm and mag is 1240 ppm I forgot to say but it wasn’t facing the light because the anemone is facing the wall and I moved the rock to the light he’s looking healthy

I changed the light to blue and I lowered the intensity from 80% to 50% and fed him some more brine shrimp and he’s looking way better so I’m gonna keep doing this till he fully recovers thanks for the help
