Oh sorry I forgot to say I just buffed it with alkaline buffer as the PH was a bit low that’s why it’s 8 months I have another anemone bubble tip small one and she is doing fine all corals looks fine and healthy

Her foot looks super puffed up, usually they do that when they are going to move. How long have you had her? She might not like the light intensity or flow in the spot shes in. I would let her move and see what she does

Looks fine to me, just not happy at the moment. Give it time. If it starts to fall apart or stink, throw it out.

What did you dose? What was your alkalinity prior to dosing?

You don't dose buffer for pH.

If pH is low increase oxygenation and help CO2 leave the tank.

Do not chase pH and use buffers. They often increase alk and pH is different throughout the day. There are other safe ways to raise it if needed but in most cases it is not.

You are likely doing more harm than good chasing that pH in this manner.
