I have a bunch of Rose Bubble Tip Anemones in my tank (66gal). I started out with one (sickly) anemone a year ago and nursed it back to health. Now I have 6 or 8 of these things in my tank... including a couple of baby ones (which I'm apparently lucky as I've heard that its rare for them to spawn in captivity).

I recently changed the bulbs in my tank. I acclimated the tank lighting over several weeks, changing one bulb at a time over several weeks to make sure there was no lighting/wavelength shock. I went from the original bulbs which were skewed to the white end of the spectrum, to a mix of ATI bulbs... blue and coral), which is skewed more towards the blue end of the spectrum.

I've noticed that the Anemones are turning slightly white or pale, especially around the tips.

So I'm trying to figure out that with the recent bulb changes, if the anemones are either (a) getting bleached because of the new lighting/wavelengths from the new bulbs, or (b) the anemones are losing some of their color because the new bulbs are not as intense of a white light as the original bulbs, and are therefore not getting enough light now and I need to increase the hours per day the lights are turned on.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
