Is my Anemone getting healthier? (Before & After pics)
I have had it for about a month and a half, and it was badly bleached/dyed. I though at first it would die, because it wasn't sticky at all, and wouldn't feed, but it seems to be doing okay still. It has gotten about 15% smaller (less tentacles or so it seems), but it still looks pretty good and opens up everyday and seems firm. I still haven't gotten it to feed, but my ocelaris pair feeds it some flakes from time to time, and water & lights are good. Is it getting better? The base and bottom half of the tentacles are now much darker and duller like a shaded light yellow as opposed to a brilliant yellow. It is much darker around the base and such. Any ideas?
Thanks! BEFORE: AFTER: |

looks exactly the same to me, excpet for the purpler tips, but its still not the color it should be naturally, give it a lot of time and it should come through if healthy.

Shrinking is a bad sign. You need to feed this anemone almost every day with shrimp or other meaty foods as it's still bleached (If it's not sticky- also a bad sign - then hold a small piece of shrimp touching- not pushing - in it's mouth. After a few minutes, it should accept the food - be patient). What lighting do you have? This anemone needs powerful lighting to regain it's zooxanthellae (algae- anemone will turn dark brown) and this means almost always metal halide (I know there are exceptions to the rule, but I'm giving advice based on what normally happens, not what might happen).

looks like a sebae anemone that has been dyed yellow. It's definately dyed if the base is also yellow. If it's dyed, it will unfortunately die
