Bubble tip anemones
 
hey i have a bubble tip anemone i had gotten a year ago. It bleached when i first put it in and now its white and still eating about every three days to every other day. is there anything i can do to improve its chances??? by the way lighting is supplied by a PFO 250 watt pendant running a XM 10 000k bulb. All water specs are within reef levels. calcium is a little high at 480ppm but everything else is good. when expanted its about 4 inches across. Still with green tint on tips of tenticles.

It bleached when you first put it in a year ago and is still doing fine ? I wouldnt worry about it just keep it fed.

ya it deffinatly didnt like my MH when i first put it in but i try to feed it three times a week atleast because i dont want it to starve. Also how much flow do they like, like alot?

Low to moderate flow. Too much flow and they wont open as much.

FWIW two of my BTA's bleached during my tank mishap last December. One got it's colour back a couple months ago. The other is still white but doing ok, not great, but ok. Just keep the conditions in check and give it time.
