well now I'm out of my area of knowledge. From the picture Bob posted of his anenome it sure seemed deep brown. Sure their are many animals that are brown. The brown is usaully a lot lighter in color and at some level almost transparent. It also seems like the tentacles are very lanky to me. Again I'm no anemone expert. I do feel lighting is one of the major factor in a healthy and thriving reef. That is another reason I will not run old bulbs as if something does go wrong in my system I can always rule out lighting as a problem. From the many bulbs I've change out, if I have pushed them to their limits, I've always seem big and worth while improvments in my animals. Trust me I would love to spend the 500+ dollars a year I spend on lighting else were.
