Anemones hiding?

[Starrhmsp]

So on Sunday I brought home two anemones that came on a rock with zoas and a fungia. The fungia is doing well but the zoas are hardly opening and my anemones have crawled in the rocks. Water parameters appear to be great so I'm not sure why these things are hiding g and the zoas aren't opening well. It's a 12g nano wth stock LEDs, three fish, two shrooms and an acon.

how long have you had the tank running?

3 years but I've had a few start overs since I've slacked on maintenance in the past with kids and all.

Type of anems?? bulbs? the anems move from to much flow an light as well as poor parameters. If they continue to hide after a water change my guess is either lighting and/or flow, a small nano is not ideal for bulbs if that is what they are as they need room to move to a place they like the lighting and flow in and that may not be available in a small system depending on your flow and lights. They may hide as water parameter changes can cause them to hide an even split as they attempt to adapt to the new system's parameters

They are bulbs😁 I'm almost positive it's the lights. They moved almost immediately after I place the rock. I just propped the canopy up about 4 inches so maybe it will help. Did a 5g water change last night as well.

are they leds? they may be too intense so you are likely on the right track, temp is good in the heat?

Yes jbj stock led lighting. And here I thought I might need to replace bulbs soon. Water temp is 81 at the moment, may go down a bit now that the lid is open some
