I've had white clones before and they lived on food only for a while.
Haven't had any turn white.

Have you had any temperature spikes or could they have received too much light at some time?

They usually like to find their own location, but if there are not many options (like different places to hide or rest) they could receive too much light and expel their algae.

nope, no big temperature changes
no light changes
i have it all controlled with a computer. (http://www.reeftronics.net/milad/apex-history)
only thing has changed which, which happened about 4 weeks ago is i finally was able to turn on one of the power heads that had been off for awhile.

are you being sarcastic? Mine are really 3-4" from the water
im considering the glass protector the start of the MH.
nope, mine are around 6-8"on my 110g and around 10" on my 33g i have a very warm house though but ive been told around 6-8 is fine

what kind of anemones are we talking about?? my gbta has been white since he was given to me, but he eats like a champ and looks healthy enough perhaps a varied diet would help with his colour??

Speaking of electricity, you said that you recently plugged in a powerhead.
Maybe it could be leaking some voltage.

Do you have a grounding probe on your tank?

As I understand it, a grounding probe works in conjunction with a GFCI. The grounding probe will tell the GFCI if there is any leaking voltage. Otherwise there is no ground for the stray voltage until you touch the water which may then provide the ground.
I use both a probe and a GFCI.
