What should I do with this RBTA?

[daniella3d]

The flow is not very strong in my aquarium, so that's surely not the problem unless it want stagnant water

It is currently under the liverock in some sort of cave and receive practically no light at all.

I cannot move that rock as it is glued and attached and it is now a block of liverock covered in corals and SPS. NO way to remove this without collapsing and destroying everything.

I definitly cannot feed either because I cannot reach it and it has its head upside down, hanging with its foot on the ceiling of the cave, sort of.

My water parameters are very good. Nitrates less than 2ppm, phosphates undetectible, calcium 440, alkalinity 8, mag 1400, ph 8.2 to 8.4 during the day.

I also feed my tank with amino acid, coral frenzy, cyclopeeze, reef roid etc and oyster eggs. I recently did 4 water changes before getting the anemone because I had a tank crash due to bad Kent carbon, but most of my SPS are now recovering and the anemone got there after the crash when coral were showing sign of recovery.

I have no idea what was in that carbon that created the bleaching event and the death of a few of my corals, but I hope it's gone now with fresh Seachem carbon and I will put polyfilter as well. I have another anemone, a maximini, that went through the crash without any trouble.

try changing the environment around it instead.
1-Move the power head away from it just gentle flow (Tunze is best)
2- move the rock that its attached to so it will catch more light
3- Do not bother it too much even once or twice a week is too much shock
4-Try feeding but do not force food in to it, make a food paste or small chunks and with pumps OFF spread it over the animal.

It will have better chance to survive if you leave it along.
Most important: If your anemone is not showing sings of good health that means your water is not up to standard.

Go through basics and correct all the parameters first (measure all that you can Salinity, Ammonia No2, No3 etc) Do a few SMALL (5% volume) water changes per week.
Keep your fingers crossed.
