hello everyone so i think im having issues with my rose bubble tip anemone it pretty small i might say like about 3 inches big. it has found a spot in my tank closest to the sand bed in a rock but it doesnt eat at all everytime i spot feed it. I also notice it only opens up at night when the lights are off. does that mean my lights r to bright? During the day it is always close and hidden inside the rock. im kind of worrying that its starting to bleach. When the lights are off it looks white but when the blue lights turn on and the anemone is still open they are pink and nice looking. But he doesnt eat whenever i spot feed him?
my parameters are
ammonia:0
nitrite:0
nitrate:10pmm
PH:8.0
temp:78
phosp.: <.25
calcium: 490
kh:7
wavermaker and circulation pump
the lights im running are LED full spectrum
whites at 50% running 6hrs and blues at 70% running 8 hrs
Any help is appreciated im also feeding reef plus and TLF marine snow 2 times a week

I have zoas, hammer, a favia and a frogspawn that are doing great
 
NO3 an Calcium is a bit high, but I think your real problem are the lights, I would back off of the intensity

I have a colony of BTAs and they don't like the lighting past 50%. I presently have the blues @ 45% and the whites at 30%.

Try running the whites and blues both @ 25% and build up from there gradually

One thing about LEDS, they are a very direct form of lighting with not alot of spread
