Sick Bubble tip.....help please

[merryj99]

I have been lurking here for a while now and this seems like a great place to get soma advice...

We got a rose bubble tip about 5 months ago, and it was doing great until one day about 3 weeks ago we could not find it, finally after moving all of the rocks we found it tonight and it does not look well. It still has some of its color but it is very small and not bubbled up at all. Our water is fine, I tested everything and there is noting out of the ordinary, the SG is at 1.027 and the temp is at 79. everything else is doing great. we also have a carpet anemone that is just thriving on the other side of the tank.

Not sure what we should do with him now? We do have another tank that we have had running for about 4 years that now has nothing but a piece of rock and sand. I have not tested that tank as we were not sure if we were going to do something with it (it is a 33 gallon). I am really not sure what we should do. I sure do not want it getting behind the rocks again.

Any help would be appreciated.
