As far as a healthy specimen is goes, a picture of yours is needed. I do feel that your light is lacking no matter how bright it is. The fact that it is PC lighting is the issue. Your chances of survival under PC lighting is better with a bta as opposed to other species however it is still a gamble. Some do ok some dont. Your anemone should respond to the light, when they come on it should inflate with water and look full and open. Do not force feed it, offer it small pieces of marine food raw, finely chopped or minced and administered with a turkey baster type utensil. If it is hungry it will accept it, if not it will let the food slide out of its tenticles. More info about your tank would be helpful to see if there are other issues. How old is the tank, how long has it been set up for? What is your water chemistry, alk, pH, salinity, ammonia, nitrates and nitrites? Specific numbers are needed as these animals are delicate and require specific perameters. HTH.
THIS !!!

I told you 82 degrees farenheit. No amonia. I answered all the others in a previous writing and asked you if that was enough info. and you didn't respond.

If you didn't read it i'll tell you again.The tank I have has been used by my dad, a couple other people, and now me. But the fish and coral I got is new. I have no amonia in my tank. I've had it for more than 2 months. I'm not sure about my nitrite and nitrate. My salinity is good but I don't know the specific number. Is that helpful enough?

No unfortunatly it is not....
To help further you need to familarize yourself with the basics of reef keeping. First and foremost, test kits, liquid type, one for EACH of the perameters that I listed in red. A refractometer for determining what your salinity is not just good. As an example 1.020 is good for a fish only tank, 1.024 is good for a reef tank, however so is 1.028. There is a large margin for "good".
Next go to the new hobbiest section of the forums and read the 3 sticky's there they will get you started.
Next Post a picture of the animal so we can better help you.
Next give more info on your set up
Tank Size =?
Pounds of LR=?
Type of Filtration=?
Flow, ie, powerheads inside the tank=?
Here is a good place to start...

Any update on this?
I haven't seen any listed water parameters as of today and this thread is now a month old.
How is the anemone doing?

 

[meeks101]

He is doing fine now! My clown used to be in the frogspawn and is now in the anemone. I think the anemone is benifiting from food particles being dropped in there when I am feeding my clown. He's still not eating when I try to feed him but he's getting the food from somewhere!
