So I have a RBTA hes doing great.. and I also have a Rainbow BTA..I put him in a strainer with my clowns to hope he would host and turned the lights down 50% for about 24 hours..he is now bleaching and I removed him as soon as I noticed it..and thee clowns (buggers still won't host!). I placed him back to his original spot and he moved under the rocks like he was hiding from the light.. he is opening during the day a bit but gets basically 0 light and I moved him out from under the rocks and the next week hes back hiding again in the rockwork. I thought I'd leave him there for a little while.. I tried to feed him but he is normally closed up and never FULLY open like my other RBTA my water is perfect alk is 9 cal is 450 mag is 1400 nirate 0 phos 0 any advice?
 
Waters to clean. You should have some nitrates. Possibly medicate the anemone but as far as moving him you're just risking damaging his foot and that's just adding to the stress. Give him some time and he continues medicate and QT.

medicate how.. I caught him on the move and never hurt his foot.. he is fine in that regards.
 
I would say nitrates are less than 20 for sure I haven't really tested just used the tetra strips and its less than 20. Plus my other nem is doing perfect.
