Brown marks on my rbta anemone????

I bought a red bubble tip anemone three weeks ago. I noticed some brown streaks on the bottom of the tips today. my tank is a year and a half old and all of my parameters are good, i also have the proper lighting. I fed it sliversides two days ago and it did not have these marks, can anyone help? I have attached a photo, you can see it on the bottom left of the anemone tips.

Not sure. Looks healthy though. I would not worry about it. But don’t feed silversides. That are really not a good food for anemones.

Something is wrong with your tank environment. Though you say your tank is well-established and all your parameters are good, the live rock and tank rubble say otherwise.

It does not look good for your anemone

I see what appears to be the zooxanthellae dying, and what looks like physical damage with torn tissues. Is it still alive?

Yes it is still alive and the marks are gone I did have a phosphate problem I did not know about at the time of posting but I have taken proper measures and almost all of it as been removed
