Okay, so yesterday was a major work day for my aquarium. I had already been running a canister carbon filter for a day, and I did a few water changes. Everything was looking good, so i cleaned up some algea, and fragged a mushroom. Again, everything was looking okay, except for the mushroom of course.
I went to the lfs in search of some rubble, but they didn't have any and i ended up getting a little flame angel. I think its gonna be my last fish. I've already got a yellow wrasse, a six line and a maroon clown. The hawk started out shy but now is doing fine.
Any who, I fed them all and all the coral and they all ate greedily, including both anenomes. A few hours later i checked and my bta brown looking (its usually white) around the tentacles and none of the tentacles were expanded in the top half. It looked to me that the unextended part was the part that was getting the most direct flow, so I moved the rock out of the flow. A few hours after that the whole anenome was drooping and no tentacles were extended. I moved it back to where it was originall and some of the tentacles re extended but its foot was starting to come off of it's rock.
This morning it was almost entirely extended again, but now its mouth looks kinda weird.

not sure whats up. Everything else in the tank is fine, still running the carbon and all the chemistry is where it should be. Also, what is kind of anenome is my other one? the one just below the bta?
