Rbta

Hey guys, I have a RBTA, have had it about 3 or 4 months. Originally it moved around alot but finally found a spot it liked and was huge and hosted by 2 picaso clowns. Recently it has been shriveling up when my light comes on full power (LED's acans. white 85% blue 100%) I have had it on these settings the whole time so I don't quite get whats going on. I know it excretes here and there but I don't really feed it(clowns do that when I feed the tank). I don't think it's dying as it reflates at night and looks fine before the lights come all the way on. Paremiters are perfect, any ideas?

lighting may be too much for him. turn down the lights and see if behavior changes.

They were at 100% like a month ago and the anemone was fine, I lowered it 15%, plus I have sps so I don't know if I can lower it too much.

Jpaul, nems tend to do that. Mine do it all the time. They deflate, and reflate. But do keep an eye on it for other changes.

I will thanks, it's just weird that it does it during the day for the past week and a half, but I didn't think it was dying.

I could certainly be wrong, but to me if it were the lights being to strong for it the nem would move further down in the tank. Unless of course it is already as far down as it could go.

No, I think you are right, it could move another place much more shaded.
