My anemone is not looking well. I moved around some rocks two days ago in anticipation of some new fish. Since then he's looking a bit rough. He was about mid-tank level when I moved the rocks and he's always preferred to be down at the bottom. Last night he relocated but still didn't look happy. He eventually took 1/3 of a small silver side today. I have a Condy that is looking happy and eating well, corals and fish are fine as well. I have LED reef lighting 14k Innovative Marine on 10hrs/day. He's never been a really green color, just the very tips have a slight green tinge since I got him three months ago. I feed 2x a week, might he need more frequent feeding of more easily digestible food like raw shrimp?
I know my nitrates are high and they have been for months. I've done weekly water changes of 20% and the nitrates stay the same. I'm in the process of removing bioballs and slowly converting crushed coral to sand. I've dumped the fresh lower temp salt water over the anemone as I have heard that this can "refresh" them. I feed the anemones 2x a week. Might he need more frequent feeding of more easily digestible food like raw shrimp?
