80 watts?! Im sorry but that is way too little to keep even the easiest to keep anemones. BTAs need at least 200 watts MINIMUM with absolutely pristine water conditions to thrive. Ask around (besides for the people at your lfs) and youll find that 80 watts is wat way too little for any anemone. I take it that you have NO bulbs over your tank? Also what types of corals to you keep?
Sorry, dont mean to sound hostile, but 3, what looks to be decently sized anems, under 80 watts of light is unheard of.
And also, like we said, 7 months is not long at all. It could be 9 months or even more before you even see signs of a deterriorating anemone. Also they live for lonng amounts of time. The anemone you see in florida today could have been seen by colombus! 7 months is really not long. If you kept him for 10 years without a problem then i would be certain that he was fine. Otherwise, its almost impossible to tell.
