My anomine has stayed in same place for a while now..but lately it has been
"stretched upward in a funnel like position" my white lights are on 93%. Salinty is fine, traits a tad high (fixing to do a small water change). I can't seem to make him happy....all other corals, zoas, polys, leathers seem fine and are happy. Any help is appreciated.
Anomine stretching upward

I mean it definitely appears to be reaching for the light. What light do you have? Tank size? How high off the tank is the light mounted? Have you tested PAR? Have you target fed it at all?
75 gallon with two current usa orbit LED lights. Lights have "legs" the sit close to glass top. I haven't ever tested PAR (not sure how). I target feed some. Can't really get a good flow adjusted for him..I either feel it's too much or not enough.
Should I try bumping whit light up a little they are on 92% now? ...and yes using RODI water.. sallinty is fine as is ph traits are tad high but not crazy (fixing to do small water change)
Thank you! Would love to get a second but need to figure this one out first
Nitrate and phosphate readings? I'm also not sure if those lights will be enough for an anemone.

It’s stretching for more light current orbits aren’t very strong unfortunately.
Wasn't sure so didn't want to insinuate. Mine sit as high as they can be under a kessil 360 at 95% though

I only know because my tank bought used had them replaced with noopsyche
As long as your waters good . As I said I have a standard light and my thought is need more light but not too much. As far as nems they do there own thing great things I love them but hard to figure out some times . Keep up with your posts.
Not sure bumping the light any higher would really help. That light is not really meant to grow much despite what it says on the description. Will it keep stuff alive? Sure, but it definitely won’t have good color or really make anything grow, and you’re definitely seeing the nem stretching towards the light, telling you it needs more.
****UPDATE!!! .. I pulled 5 gallons off. Increased white light a tad.. spot fed mysis...adjusted flow..I think he's looking better..
Small water change..change in power head flow..spot fed mysis and plankton.
* Update he is looking a tad better ....not as "upstreched" have spot fed mysis and plankton (i hope i wasnt starving him!) now to get flow adjusted.. everything iv read says "moderate" flow pardon the ignorance but what do they mean by "moderate".. iv attached a video on the flow i have on him now, too much or not enough?
Thanks for any kind, constructive advice.
