I have had a rose anemone for 9+ years, over the last year it has becoming increasing smaller and I am concerned that I am going to lose it. For a bit of extra history on it was home to a pair of clown fish for the first 4 years when the male clown died (summer heat and the chiller failed 
) but the female natured the anemone for an additional 2 years when she died (got caught under a rock ). The anemone went clownless for 2 years and seemed to hold size and color steady. Over the last year it has become smaller and has lost most of its green coloring, I thought that it may not be getting enough food (without a clown feeding it) that I bought a new clown the beginning of Nov. ’08, however it is still shrinking. Tank has 1 Maron clown, 1 Flame Angle, and 1 Cleaner Shrimp, several scarlet hermits, its is 75gal with 100lb LR, 50LB LS, temp is steady at 25C, water quality: Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates <10, salinity 1.022, skimmer, canister filter, (4) 96watt 10000k, and chiller.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sarah
