Were the clowns stealing food from the anemone? We really need all of your water parameters. I would work on trying to lower the nitrates. Are you using reliable test kits? Where/how are you making/getting your saltwater? What is the salinity and temp?

Ok firts one I keep the clowns away from the anemone untill the piece is fully taken in. I am using Salifert test kits.
Did new readings now: NO2-0; NO3- +/-50; NH4-0.25.
I do not have testkits for the others. Witbank is a bit isolated for these type of items...
I use Seachem reefsalt and an RO system9Did not test the RO water yet)
My temp is 24deg celsius and salinity is 1.025
I am running Matrix now for 2 days will test after a week of running.

Clownfish can go digging inside the anemones mouth later and remove food.
Has there been any improvements or changes in the anemone?

The Purple tip moved from his position and he is eating well and the clowns are leaving his food alone(I need to help the anemone) if they take his food they give it to the rose bouble tip.
Will monitor his movements and keep posting.
