Anemone Health

I set up a 125 to be used as a reef tank. I have not had saltwater in over twenty years. The tank was up and running for 2-3 months before I put fish in it. With everything being stable at the 5 month mark, I added a Condy. He was bleached when I got him and still is just not as bad. He found a spot on the side of a rock in a cave where he can extend to get to the light. The purple on the tips of the tentacles has gotten bigger and he seems to be going good. That was until this morning. Thus morning, he was just drooping down with his tentacles partually hanging out of the body. He wasn't moving at all and I thought it was dead. I moved the flow so he would get a little more and that seemed to help a little. I target fed him fairy shrimp and he took in most of the cube. I feed him 2-3 times a week and he usually eats whatever I put in him. He inflates and deflates on an almost daily basis.

Yep he's bleached. I think you're feeding it too much, but with being a bleached anemone it does need some feedings. I would give it a few mysis shrimp 2x a week

This would also get more exposure in the anemone and clownfish forum further down the main forum list.
