Hiding Anemone

[Saurabhdxb]

Hi Friends,

I hv had a salt water for more thn an year now and have an established tank, happy fish good coral growth, but hv difficulty in keeping anemones in this last year i hv hd 3 anemones two did not last and one keeps hiding and has never come out in the open and has never opened up fully.

Please advise/suggest what can i do to get my anemone to come out in the open and open up

What are your parameters? Anemones like stable tanks

Also what size tank? Dimensions and what lights are you running and intensity. A picture of the anemone maybe helpful too.

What kind of lights? May not be enough. Or too much.

i am using the AI prime and Prime 16HD
Tank IM 30L

Could be flow related as well. Or an overly aggressive fish/coral nearby

Do you know the PAR where the RBTA is? I know mine are comfortable @175 under my Kessil. How long has the anemone been in you tank? Also what are you current parameters including NO3 and PO4

Mine are just fine under my AI Primes.

Can you show us your light settings?

Water parameters? They tend to look pretty bad when alkalinity fluctuates
