Anemone situation. Need help

[agonzo2008]

So over a month ago my rainbow anemone started to shrink up and not thinking exactly what caused it I removed the porcelain crab that hosted the anemone . Then I had an algae outbreak so I checked my phosphates and they were extremely high . So I bought a gfo reactor and brought me level back to healthy levels . The thing is my anemone is still ticked off. It has a good foot and eats still but won’t expand . Any help would be nice .
calcium 420
Phosphate 0.05
Nitrate 10ppm
Nitrite 0
Photos are before and after

is that as much as opens in current pic?any other significant changes,salinity,temp,new lights?

 

[agonzo2008]

That’s as much as it opens since it got mad . It opens like that and then closes to eat .

 

[agonzo2008]

No changes in anything but the phosphate level . But it was mad before and now that my level is hood it’s still mad lol

[agonzo2008]

I feed one cube of mysis or brine shrimp a day. Only have 5 small fish . I dose one, iodine , and essential elements twice a week. I’m unsure what to do . It sucks cause it was a beauty and now it’s un happy

is it pooping normal? is it getting enough food?? are you target feeding? poss try small pieces of thawed silversides,start small as nem responds increase size ,thinking 1/2" piece to start ,hopefully it takes it feed every other day if takes

 

[agonzo2008]

Here’s a video of my tank currently with everything thriving

 

[agonzo2008]

Yes I currently have it in a separate box in the sane tank . And I target feed it and it eats the food but no luck
