Hello everyone, decided to join the forum to seek more help or insight on my issue that I’ve been having. (Apologies If thread is in the wrong sub section)
I am not new to the hobby at all but I am some what new to keeping Anemones. I have had this large RBTA in my tank for about 3 months now and for the first 2 months he was of superb health and condition (FIRST PICTURE) and once 2 months had passed he began showing signs of irritation that I noticed, such as twirling the ends of his tenti’s. (SECOND PICTURE)
For about a month now the Anemone has been in a grim unhappy state and is completely different (THIRD PICTURE) the change happened rather suddenly and as of today he has been tightly closed.
Tank Age: 11 months
Lights: ATI 39watt T5 bulbs
Chiller unit is installed to ensure stable temp
Alk: 7.7dkh
Calcium: 480ppm
Magnesium: 1530ppm
Nitrates: 4ppm
Phosphate: 0.03ppm
Salinity: 1.025
Never target fed the Anemone
Parameters have been kept stable and reasonable levels through out the period in which I’ve had the Anemone. No sudden changes were made besides the 2 bulbs being changed but he only started showing small signs of this irritation 2 weeks after the bulbs were swapped out. Have been seeking advice from all over as to what can be causing this, hope to see informative replies. Thanks all
