So I posted here a couple of months ago about an anemone who will not extend its tentacles. It extended them fine for the first couple weeks but all of a sudden the tentacles just stopped extending. Now it is just a foot and a mouth. The anemone eats, moves around, poops, and everything like normal it just won’t expand. It seems healthy other than not having any tentacles. My clowns did beat it up pretty good when it had tentacles. It is about 2” across.
I have tried increasing lighting, decreasing lighting, feeding, not feeding, etc. It has been well attached To the same rock for about a month.
Anyone have any ideas why it wont stretch its tentacles???

Replied in your original thread. How did you increase lighting? For how long? It is going to take months for them to recover, so trying more light for a few days is not going to tell you anything. From your description hear the have gone down hill further. What are you feeding them?

I increased lighting about 6 weeks ago. I use a 165W MarsAqua and a high intensity LED bulb. I feed it all kinds of things.
