Anemone Change color

[charlie]

Hi,

Has anyone encounter the Anemone change it color? Does anyone know why it change color? Mine when bought is a white with luminous green/yellow tip. After abt 1 month it color starts to change to orange/reddish-brown. Is it due water quality or feeding Krill? Thanks

allamack....bro... I think it is bleached.. not enough lighting...what lighting you using ??

water parameters may not be suitable. lightings and flow rate are bad. It will soon die if u dont react fast.

Hi

Bro, I'm using ATi T5 2X39W Lighting. But it's growing bigger each day, and the tentacles is fat. Wat should I do? any advise? Thanks

Your original anemone is one that is already bleached.... now under better conditions, its gaining back its zoos to produce food when its under light... if i'm not wrong the present colour should be its original color...

bleaching will make it lose colour and turn white... to tell if your anemone is not doing well, is to see how much and how often it opens.. if it is always closed up or shriveled up... it is unhappy about its environment...

Bro,

Now I'm getting confuse, one say it is bleaching and the other say it's recovery back to its origin. So which is which?? But my anemone is opening big each day. I feed twice a week and it always stay as it is between LR. So is my anemone healthy? Thanks

Dont worry bro, since your anemone able to be feed and not moving around than it is stable and healthy, very happy with the location.

Hey, I got the same thing happening to me. I got a nice white anemone with pale yellow tips and after 3 weeks, I find that the anemone is getting brown. I realised that it is a normal brown anemone and give it up . I previously thought that it is not bleached because of the yellow tip.
