i have a rose bubble tip anemone. i have had him about 5 weeks today he was all sucked in and blueish color. i also found one of my bangaii cardinals dead only the bones. could he have eaten the cardinal or could something be wrong since his color has changed
ph 8.2
nitrate and nitrite 0
salinty 1.023
calcium 420
ammonia o
phosphate 0
 
the anemone also moved last night i have 2 160w vho bulbs on a 125 tank is that enough light? nothing has changed in the tank i move the rock to get the dead cardinal out and the cardinals have only been in there for 1 week
 
Maybe you need to bump up the salinity to 1.026 and where is the anemone located in the tank,and how long has the tank been up and running.
