Hello Everyone.
I have noticed that my Rainbow Bubble tip anemone is starting to change colors/pigment. When I first got him (about 2 months ago), he was perfectly healthy and his colors popped. What I have been noticing is that he is turning a brownish purple!
I have an innovative marine fusion 20 gallon that is about 8 months old. For equipment:
Ai Prime HD
Coralife Nano Skimmer
Fluval 20 H.O.B filter(I am using this as a cheap carbon reactor. It actually works quite well as tumbling the carbon)
I dose with Seachem Fusion 1&2
Parameters were checked today using Red Sea and Salifert test kits:
Calcium:420ppm
Magnesium:1400ppm
Alkalinity:9.5dkH
Nitrates:0
Phosphates:0
I really have no clue as to why this is happening to my anemone. He is still eating frozen krill and mysis with a good feeding response, and all other corals in the tank are thriving. I will post before and after photos. The blues wash out the second picture, but you can see the distinct transition of color. Please help!
