haddoni anemone mouth gaping

[coralcouple]

We've had this haddoni anemone about 6 months.
It has been doing great.
About a week ago I noticed it's mouth gaping. Has not gotten better.
Nothing has changed in the tank.
We do water changes every two weeks and check parameters.
Ca 350, Magnesium 1350, Kh Alk 10.2/3.59, Nitrates 10, Phosphates 0.03, pH 8.2.

Should I set up a quarantine tank and treat it with Cipro?

There is a mated pair of platinums but they haven't been foolin' around yet.

To me your nem looks sick, and if was me I would treat with cipro. Also, in your pictures your lighting looks weak for this type of nem. they like pretty bright light. and he looks bleached as well, from the pics.

You've had this anemone for six months and it has remained bleached for six months? There's a problem here..

I agree. Your tank may not be suitable for an anemone.

post your setup
so we can understand your system a bit better. agreed with aboves, 6 months still look bleached. something is not right.

The anemone is not bleached. It has always been champagne colored. It is darker now than when we first had it, not lighter.
The lighting is 250 metal halide (10K) penetrating 18-19 inches depth plus additional light from LED.
We started the Cipro treatment on Monday 12/2/13 as described in the sticky note. 250mg per 10 gallons. Changing 5 gallons daily and adding another 250mg Cipro.
It is slightly better, but not remarkably better, but isn't worse. I was wondering about using 500mg Cipro?
Also, we normally feed it raw shrimp piece (1/4 to 1/5 of a shrimp) every 3-4 days. Should I feed it during this treatment period?
It is looking fairly good except for the mouth.

 

[Daniel62]

do not feed during the treatment.
