Got a BTA awhile ago got 2 clowns hosting it and it closes every day at around 12Pm
is this normal?
My specific gravity is at 24
and all my other levels seem to be good other then nitrate is a little bit higher then i'd like it but still in the safe range.
 
It's normal for anemones to close at night, some more then others but not really a problem. My bta's deflate at night, my white tipped one deflates about an hour after the lights off and my gbta deflates around midnight. My LTA fully deflates around midnight and in the morning I can see it all curled up looking like an egg with some tentacles coming out then when the lights come on it inflates.
 
mne get smaller but generally dont fully deflate unless they are expelling waste, which lasts from 2 to 6 hours.
 
Mine expels every other day, nearly like clockwork. No need to worry unless you see a size decrease when expanded or loss of color.
