Anemone help

Parameters have been consistent for over 3 weeks. No swings nothing has changed. Why is my nem looking like this…… it is a well we thought very happy 7 inch WBTA. First picture is what it normally looks like. Second is right now.

Nitrate and phosphate are both high. How old is the tank? Other than those 2 important factors anemone do all sorts of weird things when acclimating.

Tank is 3 months old. My parameters have been like that for 3 weeks. Honestly and nothing has really changed. I went heavy on feeding corals yesterday by mistake and that’s why my nitrates are high. Po4 was 2.8 when I set up the tank and has been slowly coming down.

Based on the second picture it appears to be just moving around. It could take months to get settled in. Keep everything steady and it should be ok.

Maybe it’s just pooping?

Just an update. The nem is open today and is looking good. It must of just been a huge poop. Weird part is over a week ago we lost our RBTA due to it walking after I changed some rock work. I have a feeling this WBTA ate him as I have not fed this WBTA more than twice since we got him.

Saltwater just baffles me how things go missing.....
