I added 2 bubble tips on friday. after 3 plus hour acclimation they both went in and found there spots. All parameters are within range, but rose retracted this evening after looking fine earlier today. Tank red sea reefer 425xl with 2 radion xr30 gen 4s in acclimation mode at 20% intensity. I performed 3 20 to 25 gallon water changes leading up to friday over a 10 day period just to make sure nitrates and nitrites are low. the color (neon green) bubble tip seems to be doing fine. parameters are salinity 1.025 ph 8.15 temp 76.8-77.2 alk 9 calcium 430 ammonia 0 nitrates 10 nitirites 0 any help would be great skimmer cq2 aquamaxx and neptune apex the pics are 2 from yesterday and 2 from today the rose one from yesterday was at night after turning lights back on to take pic and one today showing the white at about 5pm with lights on normal cycle.

how long have ur tank been set up? the anemones look stressed. gotta give it a few days for them to adjust,
 
IME, those nems are going through an adjustment period (1-7 days) to your tank and will look less than "normal". Just keep your tank parameters stable and they will be fine. I have a GBTA that deflates and puffs its mouth every couple of days (especially around 4-6 pm) and looks beautiful by morning. Good luck.
 
Thanks

It looks alit better this morning and retracted again late in the day but with out the white center. Tank was setup in November and was a transfer from my 3 year old 40b
