Hi all!
My Rose bubble tip kept going into hiding deeper and deeper down in the rocks. I used to feed small pieces of silverside but it became hard to feed once it moved deeper into the tank. Also, it started looking more shriveled and was closing up more often(bothered too much by porcelain crab?).
I just flipped the rock around so that he's now on the top getting a lot of light and also drove away the crab.
I read that anemones prefer strong lighting and it seemed to perk up almost immediately and the bubble tips start coming back .
This happened about two days ago and now I see him expelling zooxanthellae. I read online that since he was moved from a low light to high light area he doesn't need that much zooxanthellae anymore, which makes sense.
My question: is it okay to let him settle down by himself or is there anything I should do (like turn down light intensity for a few days) ? Should I be worried about him at this point?
After I flipped the rock, he moved a bit towards the top of the tank but has settled there for 2 days now.
