Once an anemone loses all it zooxanthallae it doesn't usually have much of a chance. Sorry for the bad news. You may try feeding it 2-3 times a week to nurse it back to health.

I'd suggest you try that before selling it, the move may be too much for it and it'll just die in someone's tank and kill some other inhabitants along with it.

Agreed. My RBTA did the same thing, I believe due to a temperature swing. so maybe check your temp throughout the day. Good news, my rbta came back fully within a few months, wth regular feeding. They really like silversides. All the best

srry reefie but i have to disagree based on my personal experiences, i brought back many anemones easily once i keep them regularly fed. maybe it was just your tank that couldnt properly house an anemone?

I have to admit though, that feeding helps alot and usually when i feed, they make bubbles for the next few days.

anywho.. i doubt anyone would want a perfectly healthy specimen now that it has been bashed around and talked about losing all of its zooanthellae when first, IF it has no zooanthellae it would be completely white and second, this guy has been in my tank since (like i said) the past 3 months and continues to grow. No point in bumping this thread now, but its still up for sale for the people who have actually successfully kept bubble tips .
