food won't stick to it at all... even very small pieces?
No not even tiny stuff. Spectrum pellets just sit there till the clown washes them away. The anemone doesnt even try to eat anything. I've squirted it with golden pearls and no response whatsoever.
It is still attached, and hasn't bleached.
I'll get another pic when the halides come on.
The RBTA's have been gone for a few weeks now-no change there.
Not too sure I want to try the antibiotic suggested-I am allergic to it (sulfa)

Heres the thread I was looking for earlier and wasnt able to find...
QT Procedures for Anemone's
Hows the Nem doing?

I don't think a bacteria infected anemone would be spawning in reduced cycles.
I do think a stressed S. haddoni might.
Mine have always been upset with pH swings, I saw a post of the ranges 8.0 to 8.4, are they the maximum?
How do the anemones look overnight?
Have you by chance changed salt mix lately or opened a new batch?
fwiw: My anemones seem to be fans of small consistent water changes or none at all. Big water changes definitely bother them for a week+.

I got a new probe and calibrated a few days ago-pH is fairly steady at 8.1-8.2
Everything else in the tank is fine-doing quite well actually.
I have used Reef Crystals for 9+ years
All parameters are completely normal.
This guy has been tough as nails for over 9 years now. Survived a huge dino bloom several years ago that killed all the fish except the clown and at least half of the corals in a fully stocked 180g
Thrived thru the move to the 300g tank. It had even had a growth spurt in recent months(after eating several fish).
I tend to think it's not something wrong with the tank or water, but the anemone itself.
The flower anemones are doing okay-the gold is back to normal, and the orange has a slight bulging at the mouth that isnt getting any worse. The sand anemone hasnt had any problems at all.
Corals -LPS, SPS, and softies, are growing and healthy, fish are great, shrimp, starfish, pods, mysids, snails, hermits, feather dusters, crocea, worms, gorgonians, you name it it's doing well and multiplying.

How does the Haddoni react lights out and before the lights come on?
How large was the Nem when you got it? Have you done any research on the life expectancy of these things? I'm not trying to be rude just help think of possible solutions. I'm not sure there has been too much scientific research on "Curing the Common House Cold" for anemones, however they should have some pretty solid life expectancy numbers by now.

Many believe they live for hundreds of years in the wild, the chances it was caught in the last 9 years of it's life would be (unfortunately) very low statistically. I'm not saying impossible, i'm saying improbable.

It's doing about the same.
It was about 12" diameter when we got it 9 years ago and had grown to about a 20-22" diameter. As Newreeflady stated most believe they live for hundreds of years, but nobody seems to know for sure, and theres not much knowledge of treatment for them that I can find.
