For starters, you did a beautiful Job on this tank !!
What is latest nitrate reading as well as Phosphate? I see you have a hang on refugium as your method of filtration. Question is, is it keeping up?
Other is light. I believe your light is a 30 or 65Watt and may be inadequate for this tank/anemone why I asked for full shot.
I would recommend another of these lights added but more effective/efficient would be a Pair of either noopsyche K7 pro or a pair of Ai hydra 26/32hd or Ai primes

I assume the other two are more exposed to light?

Are they the same BTA'S? I had two different bta's, a green one with pink tips and a Forrest fire bta. The Forrest fire bta split a few times and surrounded my green one, meanwhile the green bta's tentacles got shorter and shorter and itook her out after month's because she looked like melting at the end. Someone told me it may have been bta warfare. Never looked into it but thought I mention it.

There are anecdotal cases where nem warfare between variations is concerned. Use of carbon seems to help

so all 3 are different but are all bta. one green one sunburts and 1 acid washed

To release that easy is not a good sign but see how it adjust to new area and light

its moved under the arch took a while to attach to rock but looks like his foots on there now. and all tips are all still green and looks like its trying to inflate as we speak

great. As stated, allow it to settle and take in the added light and flow as its likely in a better spot

I’d raise your phosphates if it is truly zero… feed some reef roids it will prolly perk up! My tank loves it and it raises the phosphates just enough.

Do you use a heater/chiller? What’s the temp set at? I am guessing that the tank is in an air conditioned patio.
