This is somewhat related to http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2121847 if you want to catch the full story. Bottom line regardless of how it happen I got a bad spike in ammonia and nitrate water conditions. I have since been slowly correcting them thru out the day with slow water changes as to not shock anyone/thing in the tank. My anemone has opened back up and seems color is returning, it is a medium tan with green tint. The mouth is remaining closed for the most part I have done a bit of targeted feeding and it appears to be eatting. I have attached a picture of what he looked like yesterday to today. My question is besides the obvious fix and maintain a pristine water condition for him, what else should I do?

I can only hope =), then have an excuse to get the wifey to let me get the larger tank I want anyway =). I am glad it was the weekend I spent all day slowly lowering the ammonia and nitrates. He looks a little mad in person compared to yesterday, I will keep a very close eye on those levels and make sure the water stays pristine. Thank you for all your insight/assistance today was reassuring that I did the right things to keep him alive. He looked rough around noon.
Is it normal for them to sorta close up when the blue/night time led's come on towards the end of the day/night?
With these BTA's do they get most of their food from lighting/some sorta symbiotic algae or thru what you feed them?
Again thanks a ton.
