Question about my anemone

[Spartanman22]

Here is a picture of my anemone probably around 5-6 months ago

And now it is smaller significantly smaller. However, the anemone is still very healthy. It is feed twice a week with silversides and it is always open and healthy looking. Its tentacles are always inflated and never look deflated. I am just curious because it used to be so big and take up so much space and now it is tiny yet fuller.

What lighting do you have it under?

It is is significantly smaller, then it isn't very healthy -- healthy anemones get bigger not smaller.

What are the water parameters -- with numbers.
What lights do you have over the tank?

its not like shriveled its just that in the picture you can see that it is spread out alot and not it is more condensed. Actually now that I think about it I think this picture was taken before I replaced my ballasts. I think this was taken when I had the odyssey ballasts still on. Now I have the lumantek ballasts. Ok I think I just answered my own question. It must have just been stretching out to get more like because my stock ballasts sucked and now that they are better it doesn't need to be spread all out.

if you have it blasted with more light they will shrink to a nice size
i used to keep btas under standard flor
they were huge like yours in the pic
under better lighting they dont need to spread
