What lighting is it under? how often and what do you feed? stocking list to see if any predators are in there? a closeup shot because I'm not sure I see it.

1. two 20g lights that come when you buy a 20g tank and top. one bulbs is the stock light bulb and the outer is a reef light.

2. feed one time ever two days. and feed them blacks worms.

3. one maroon clowns, two nemo clowns, one black sand clown, hipo tang, yellow watchmen goby, and 20 hermit crab.

4. thes are the best picks I have of my tank of right now and my pumps. try to get more picks later

I definitely think you need better light. that could be the culprit, i'm guessing these are just fluorescent lighting, which certainly is not going to let an anemone thrive by any means. I really can't tell where it is, but if I had to guess, is it the white in the centerish off towards the left? If it is, it's extremely bleached which pretty much can point to your lighting

I would also say you need some better lighting, maybe invest in some MH's. Coral needs alot of light and flo's don't cut the cake.

Umm it's your lighting.

Get that.. or something like it.. If you don't your bubble tip will die :) And as far as live rock goes.. I'd prolly get alot more if I were you.. But it's your tank so it's a personal choice.. Everything will be fine like that.

The added benifit of having more LR is that if you have multiple levels of rock, your bubble tip can move up and down the pile to find a spot it likes the most.. if you have just a small amount, the bubble can only get so high.. And then there is the added filtration and such which goes with more live rock.

Hrmm. Interesting fish stock you have.. Damsils, Tangs.. lol how do they get along? :)
