Hello, I changed the brightness of my lighting because I liked the color more I didn't think it would cause the anemone to get sick because it wasn't that much brighter and the water flow, but the anemone started not sticking to rocks anymore and floating around the tank to different places.

The anemone looks sick, so I adjusted the lighting back to the same way it was before that and the water flow to close to the same as it was before.

Do you think the anemone can recover? I will post before and after pictures of it.

How long have you had the anemone for? Is your temperature and salinity stable? And lastly, do you solely relay on lights or have you ever tried supplemental feedings? The anemone does look half way gone, if it continues to get worse I recommend you remove it from your tank, especially if you have other livestock. Can you post clearer pics?
 
I was feeding it pieces of shrimp. I found a place to put it in a rock so it can't move around a lot and it seems to be doing better!

What light do you use? Also, you haven't responded any of the previous questions.
