Help with BTA

[Joe37]

I received my anemone from divers den 3 days ago and the first day it was open and his mouth close. Ever since then it's been deflated with his mouth open(occasionally it will tighten up) with brown stuff near it's mouth. But when the lights are off it's inflated with its mouth closed. The tank is 29 gallon that's been up for a year and a half with a nanobox duo for light and 0 nitrates. What should I do? Also it hasn't moved at all and it still looks like it has all its color.

i dont think thats enough light for a bta. but deflating when light is on and inflating at night isnt a good sign. do u have any corals currently? if so how r they doing? dur nitrate is 0? do u have any fish? are u using ro water? r u using hob filter? more info will help.

I have 4 fish, zoas, mushrooms, and various LPS corals with a hammer coral right next to the anemone. I have an ac50 with purigen,filter floss, and chemipure elite as well as a reef octopus protein skimmer and ac70 with chaeto. Everything is doing fine except for the
Bta.

give it time and monitor it daily. dont move or feed it until its settled.
