I actually haven't seen it eat except for one time that it appeared to take a brine shrimp to its mouth around last sun/monday. It has been acting like this for a while, but only in the last week or two it has started to loose its zooxanthellae and bleach.

Right now my water circulation is not directly pointed at the anemone and is blocked by my live rock from flowing directly at it. Here is the write up from drsfostersmith.com of my tank:

"12 Gallon, 54W Compact Fluorescent System - Includes: Surface skimming filtration system, 1-27W square pin Dual Daylight 6700°K/10000°K Daylight bulb, 1-27W square pin Dual Actinic 420nm/460nm Actinic bulb, 2 blue LED lights, cooling fan, mechanical sponge filter, 160 gph submersible pump with flat nozzle".

I also have a fission nano skimmer set up in the tank.

Im thinking of changing my water flow to put it directly at the anemone to make sure it isnt in a dead/slighty dead spot. I do have activated carbon in my tank. The specific gravity is 1.022.

I turned the heater down to try and keep the temperature around 78 degrees. So far it is showing 82 and the heater is set at 78, so im going to try adjusting that again.

I realized it would be challenging in the small tank but I have been watching a beautiful rose BTA flourish in a 15 gal. tank with very poor lighting at my work. I asked my boss about it before I ordered it and he recommended the BTA for its hardiness. I am going to have him look at the tank when he gets a chance.

Thanks,
jsero00
