Looks like your lights are out/ramping down? Closing at night is perfectly normal

The AI should increase intensity slowly over a couple weeks if I remember right. Just be aware that the nem may decide to move to get more/less light

Nems and peroxide dont mix well.
Moderate light and water flow and occasional feedings are all they need. Try running a good grade carbon such as chemiPure blue in the tank.

With new light it mat respond well. Start with heavy blue and add small % of white until you reach desired intensity

Well I must be the odd one out. I dosed 2-3 ml per 10 gallons of h2o2 for probably 6 months and my 2 rbta didn't care. My shrimp did as it died. But nothing else was affected. My rbta shrinks up at night, my clowns get mad as they love it but have to sleep under it. Sometimes it completely encloses itself. It grows, then splits when it's cramped for too long.

Anemones always get smaller at night. But something is going up that it’s mouth is gapping so often, at all really. What are your nitrates and phosphates? The have to have some phosphates to live and like nitrates as it is a food source for them.

I would definitely try to increase them. Why were you dosing hydrogen peroxide?
