Thats what you feed your fish too? Only that? You dont use phytoplankton/zooplankton for your corals?
See.. my problem with my bta was that I was feeding it every day.. and it would do what yours is doing now.. and it would only fully 'bloom' at night. I would feed my fish cyclop-eeze(too much) every day and the stuff would end up flowing to the bta.. since I found the problem and am more careful how I feed that behavior has stopped.

How are you maroon clowns treating the anemone? Are they rough towards him? DT's phytoplankton if a very good food for fine filter feeders, such as corals and anemones. And it's everything you need in one bottle.

Rick D,
My anemone goes a bit off during the night, opens well during the day but blooms in the late avo/evening when the lights are on. I do find though that if the lights are left on for more than 6 hours a day he wilts badly. He also does not like being in a direct flow of water and will shrivel. I feed him prawn twice a week (or my maroon feeds him actually) the next day after feeding he is beautiful. My maroon will not feed him fish but only the fresh prawn. I'd say the prob is one of the three lighting, water flow or feeding.

You can turn it over and we will see what happens or you can rearrange your flow pattern and see if it moves on its own in a few more days. If you can reach it with the turkey baster try to feed it when it is upright on the rocks.
