How long do they do it for? Mine been doing it for a whileNems are weird. Mine do this once in a while.
Likely nothing wrong, just doing his thing.
I am using 2 t5 bulbs 1 aquablue special and a coralife actinic bulb. I’ve had the anemone for almost 3 months and the tank has been running since mayWhat are you using for lighting? How long has it been in there? Also how long has the tank been running?
I had 2 T5's for years on a 90 gallon. Enough for some Mushrooms etc but whenever I tried Anemones they ended up in a waste away state after roughly same period. Supplemented with a Fluval LED and my Long Tentacle has been thriving now. Not saying this is your issue but could be. Depends on depth and tank size and where located as well in terms of lighting....I am using 2 t5 bulbs 1 aquablue special and a coralife actinic bulb.

Yeah I feed 2 times a weekHave you ever fed it?
Sometimes sand gets on the rock when I’m cleaning the tank but I don’t have any fish that stir up the sand, there’s a flame angel and 2 clownfish in the tank that’s itIn the photos is that sand on it, could a tank mate be stirring the sand up on it?
I’ve had stable warer parameters for a couple of months but saw a very slight increase of nitrite, less than .25ppm . I immediately did water changesWhat are your water parameters, all 8 if you have them?
How long have those parameters been stable and in range?
I always rule out water chemistry as it has the greatest impact on our stuff.
While they are not so sensitive to Nitrate level, they are sensitive to changes in light, salinity and nitrate.

The tanks a 20 gallon high and the anemone is towards the surface maybe 5 inches from the surfaceI had 2 T5's for years on a 90 gallon.

I checked the water parameters last night and ammonia, nitrite and nitrate all read 0. ph is 8.2 and salinity is 1.025-1.026 calcium is 440ppm, KH is 8.0 and phosphate is <.25What are your water parameters, all 8 if you have them?

how could I raise my nitrate levels safely to 5-10ppm?Yup, those are good. Nitrate 0? Really?
A reef uses trace nitrate as a food source, so zero don’t sound like a good level.
Sometimes they just shrink up, get smaller and smaller, even in excellent water chemistry conditions.
and sometimes they split.
