Thanks for the update! I'm glad it doesn't look worse. It's true about the sudden change in light making them close. My RBTA closes everytime the lights go off too. But he stopped moving around a few days after he was put in the tank and he found his "spot".

update
I have turned off the thunderstorm feature on my light just because I have it on a stupid setting and I think that is why my GBTA was closing so much. The anemone weirdly looks good at night, never bubbled but better than day time. this morning when I checked the anemone the tentacles were very skinny and sucked in kind of laying flat on the anemone. anyone have an input on this?

My gbta did not split either, even though it started to have two mouths, guess its back to just one but got a little bigger. Hope mine will be ok as well.
It has been 13 days since my first post on here asking for help. I am going to go ahead and feed my anemone tonight. I have gotten my nitrates down and the anemone seems to be doing better. For whatever reason I don't know if its me or whatever but the anemone seems to look its best at night. Ill keep this thread updated and hopefully this anemone makes a recovery!

How did your feeding go?
I didn't end up feeding because I only have frozen mysis at the moment. Should I try to find something that is more meaty? Or should frozen mysis be ok?
Alright I will try something meaty, and I have one cleaner shrimp and one blue leg hermit crab.
The cleaner shrimp is quite the food hog. I usually feed the shrimp first and then the anemone and then I sit there and fend for the anemone and make sure it can eat its whole meal. I still need to go an get a meaty meal for the anemone.

I just leave my gbta alone and so far is she is doing ok i guess, its opening up and has its color not bleached anymore. My rbta and rainbow are all doing great.
Some pictures

So this is my anemone at night. The first picture is obviously my lights at night and then the second picture I cranked up my lights for a few seconds to get a better picture. My anemone never looks like this during the day, only at night.
at night my blue and ultra blue lights are at 2% and during the day my UV is at 45% blues and white 50% and my green and red are at 5%

Looks pretty good here.

Looking much better
Keep everyone well fed, good job.
I am very happy with the turn around for this anemone. The color is better and it seems to be open more often. It is still closing once a day probably. But it is doing much better.
