are you keeping other corals in there besides anemones? For me personally I noticed that when I mixed different anemone species (different combos at different points in time including: ritteri + bta's, bta's + crispa, bta's + gigantea) a LOT of my LPS did not do well--specificallly some of my hammer corals (I have several varieties), several of my favias. However, all of my softies (zoas, gsp's, leathers) did fine. It was noticeable within 2 weeks of adding the 2nd nem. Yet, when I removed the ritteri, or crispa, or BTA, and was only left w/1 species, things reverted back to thriving within a month.

My tank is 60 gallons +20 gallon sump, and yes, I even ran carbon. Interestingly, the anemones themselves were never affected, only corals. I posted this on another thread wondering if anyone's ever had similar experiences, but no one has said anything. Perhaps my total tank volume may be on the small side? Who knows.
