Bubble tip anemone

[gatoralum69]

All here is another question. I purchased a greenish bubble tip anemone about a few weeks ago. The tips were nice and bubbly, yet now they do not seems as nice as when I first picked them up. Also the anemone is not as green as it used to be. I have been feeding it silver sides once a week (which it does not eat complelely as I see both the emerald crab and arrow crab both with pieces of fish). Anyone have an idea what might be going on? Is the anemone dying? Is there something I am doing incorrectly?

It could be bothered by the crabs going and picking the silversides out. Try to feed the crabs also when feeding the anemone and see if that helps.

Water quality good? What kind of lighting are you running?

All water parameters are good tested both by myself and LFS. I have 4 bulb T5.

Sounds good. Maybe try using half a silverside so the nem can eat it faster than the cuc can get to it for lunch.
