    My rose bubble anemone isn't making bubbles like it did at the LPS.
    I have had it for about 4 months and it hasnt done it once.
    its in my 55 reef. i have a 2 48" fixtures. 1 is T5 and the other is HO T5
    my water conditions are in check, nitrates only around 5-10 ppm, SG stays around .023-.025. PH is 8.2. CA is around 380-400. any help would be appreciated!

    Does the temperature fluctuate? Sorry if this question is pointless but I'm trying to help out without actually ever owning an anemone

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I have yet to find any scientific reasons why one BTA will maintain their bubbles and one will not. I have had BTA's right next to each other with one having bubble tips the other not having them.

    There are a lot of theories like lighting playing a part, feedings, presence of a clown fish. None of these theories have ever panned out for me though.

    It looks healthy and has very nice coloration.

    I have found the same thing is true with my bubbles and friend's bubbles. No real reason.

    most bubble tips once they get bigger do lose their bubbles it has something to do with feeding.
