What would you suggest to help a formerly red RBTA that is now a washed-out brick color? I'm assuming that this color shift happening over 2-3 days means that it is not doing well. It also changes positions quite frequently. A few weeks ago I noticed that it no longer accepted food (it's tentacles aren't sticky and the food floats away). And a little before that, it was wandering around the tank for a week or two, after having been in one place for 3-4 months since I got it. The only real change before the wandering started was my switching to a 12K DE Reeflux bulb after having an old Phoenix 14K bulb in. That's when everything started to change, but I'm skeptical that a bulb change could have caused all of this. (?)
Tank is 30 gallons, plumbed to a larger system. RBTA is ~24" underneath the light. It has a clarkii clown living in it. THis is a tank-raised anemone, FWIW.
Sg is 1.024
Temp is 77
KH is 8 dhk
Ca is 400
Nitrates are not detectable
Phosphate is .05
Ph range 7.95 - 8.20 daily
