It's been about 4 weeks with mine though, I was sort of hoping to see a slight change by now. He's extremely bleached, more so than what yours and Drew's and a4twenty's were to start off with. It gave the anemone a really cool "baby blue" colour but I'm worried he's a little compromised. Well, he's still here after 4 weeks so we'll see where it goes.

In my opinion the risk of bacterial infection from overfeeding is really only a danger in the first week or so. I feed my other gigantea's a squirt of mysis every day or two. So I would try ramping up the feedings a little at this point and see how it goes.

I don't think smaller (as opposed to deflated) is a bad sign in and of itself. Some days my older ones are huge, some days not so much. Probably depends on how much they ate the night before, how close they are to pooping some out, whether it's a sunny day or not, who knows maybe even slight temperature variances could play a small role. That's the fun of anemones - seeing how much personality they really have (whodda thunk it they have personalities .. LOL).
