Well I have a recent picture of my Condy. I just took it like 20 minutes ago. Here it is:
Hmmmm...what do you guys think?

As you can see it has significantly reduced in size.
From the single recent picture and descriptions, I would chase water variables and increase the feeding frequency but reduce portion size.

Yes I have been feeding daily. Exactly what do you mean chase water variables?
Thanks

IMHO it is most likely unhappy with something in the water. Either an additive, or a build up, or missing something, or a day/night fluctuation, etc., etc.
There is also the chance it is unhappy with the diet, but I would expect the tentacles to be shorter if that was the case.

Seeing the pictures, I agree with Scott. (edit) I had not realized that it managed to shrink that much(/edit) When I noticed my anemone going into an unknown decline about 5 years ago, I changed a significant portion of the water (~50%) and the problem stopped. The anemone promptly recovered, etc. So whatever it was, it was in the water (or not in the water, but I find the former to be more likely). If all else fails, do a substantial water change.

Hmmm I use oceans blend as my additives. What would be missing in the water?
I feed pieces of shrimp and fish and sometimes it gets flakes so the diet is fine.

You can measure calcium and alk. Additivies are necessary for sps, and lps.

Thats exactly what I am using a two part additive hence oceans blend as I stated above that I am using. Oceans blend is a two part additive. Very good one at that..
