HELP!! SHOULD I REMOVE MY ANEMONE!!!

[Jakelester97]

I bought This bubble tip anemone about 2 weeks ago and when I got It, it’s shined bright pink under my blue lights and now just barely the top of the tips glow. It’s been constantly moving and half the time it is closed up. My parameters and temp are perfect I wont take the time to list them, tank is 9 months old. I just Need to know by the look of it if I should Remove it before it nukes my tank.... my corals are doing great, my torch is finicky but it’s really just the nem that seems unhappy

It could be a couple things.
What I would consider is removing it to a QT tank and treating it with cypro. This way you know it wont cause issues in your tank.

yeah could nuke tank Gl

Just watch it. Might be light you have were different then ones it was under previously for the color issue. Moving around issue may be due to flow. It just needs to find a happy spot.

is it splitting or turning inside out?

okay any reason it would lose color? it used to shine bright neon pink under my blues and now it barely shows anything..

Could be the light intensity is too low

Elegance corals are really cool and sort of look like nems.

Other than receeded, does not look like in any way dying. I would run lights at 20% white, 70% blue,. moderate water flow and on a flat surface and double check Salinity ( should be 1.024-1.026) and nitrate level. If no kit, take a water sample to a trusted LFS and have them check for you
