Unhappy or sick BTA?

[Moonwrassler]

Sorry for the extra posting here, but we have a seemingly unhappy BTA in our 60gal DT. Ever since we switched from T5s to two AI Primes (set to the BRS ratios at 60% power and on a 45day acclimation schedule, which hasnow run 23 days) he's been shriveled like this. Last week I added a Nero3 on 20-45% power) to give the tank some current (previously only had flow from 2 return pumps) and he started walking all over his rock. (Nero was never pointed at him, I think he just got freaked) He's back in his spot now, but looks like this.
I expected three weeks would be enough to see some better adjustment, but now I'm wondering if the lights are still ticking him off.
Water params below:
Salinity 1.025
pH 8.2
Alk 10.4 (swung down to 9.0 ten days ago and slowly dosing it back)
NO3 20 (high, I know)
PO4 0.2
Ca 360 (dosing to get to 400)
Mg 1280 (slowly dosing to increase)
We use Tropic Marin salt.
Ideas?

Stay the course if all others happy.
He can move if he wants too.
Would not like falling Alk of 1.5dkh.
You use tropic Marin which mixes lower in the Alk band so I’m not sure how dkh is 10.5, should have been say 7.5-8.0dkh
Definitely a light issue.
Just be patient

Good advice. We do 10gal water changes--now I understand why Alk has been seesawing. Thanks for the insight!
Will fix going forward to avoid swings.

Post all you want- that’s what R2R is here for
Pics are heavy blue. Nems do best in very mature tank with few changes in water quality. Most of all, if they don’t get enough light, they shrink up as they must have adequate light to furnish energy to their cells known as zooxanthellae. Too much light and they hide or bleach
Too much water flow and they Move until they find a comfort zone. Too little flow and they head for flow which is often the power head aka veggi-matic
Assure nitrate, and salinity not elevated

They can change shapes and sizes without issue. The anemone seems fine to me.
