BTA issues?

[LiquidCache]

So I purchased this bta about three months ago. The first month or two he looked great. Found himself a spot he liked, he are regularly, loved him. Last month he moved to the back of the rock he made his home and hasn't come back out. His tentacles never extend, and he doesn't seem to respond to stimuli or eat. He will regularly deflate/inflate as to excrete waste, but here is how he looks now. He has been this way for at least three weeks maybe a bit longer. Any advice?

Anyone have any ideas???

Is your light sufficient for this anemone?

 

[LiquidCache]

Seems to be sufficient for everything else. I've got a pair of Pacific Sun Triton R2's, 175w each on a 75 gallon. They are set at about 60% total power, my whites are at about 15-20% for a few hours during the day (not including ramp up/down from 1% up to 20 and back down)

Should I attempt to move the rock which he's attached himself to a location say midway up in the tank and see if he improves?

Same issue

Same issue

Mine has been doing this also for about the last few weeks. All other corals wide open. He had been happy for the past 6 months. I'm not optimistic since it can't really feed itself if it doesn't come out. He will still inflate but not extend his tentacles. Let me know if yours turns the corner.

I would turn the rock so it's in the light and see if it improves. What do you have to loose at this point.? Try target feeding it. Very, very small pieces. You can even use fish pellets, soften in tank water. Turn off circulation and put on the disk. See what happens.

Seems to be a recurring problem in recently purchased rbta, I had one do the same thing after 6 months

Mine never had a gaping mouth though and is slowly recovering. The Rose color is gone though and looks more purple Brown still not alot of tenticle extension but it takes small bits of food
