Has anyone had issues with dosing VC and bubble tip anemones?

My RBTA has responded negatively. It has stayed about 50% or less inflated since the day after the first dose. My anemone as most will often close up for about a day at a time maybe once a month but never this long. However, the mouth is nice and tight and it still responds well to touch so I don't fear losing it in the near term.

I have continued the dosing despite this reaction for 3 continuous days at about 5 ppm. Probably not the best idea but my curiosity got the best of me so last night I bumped up the dose to about 10 ppm just to see what would happen.

If the anemone doesn't open up on its own by the time I get home tonight I'm going to discontinue the VC and run carbon. I'll likely try again in a couple weeks to see if there is any correlation.
