Anenome help.

[Brownbear88]

Ok so I recently got a bubble tip anemone after doing my research for my two clowns( if that ever happens) so I found one that I thought looked amazing, good bubbles out full and even had a porcelain crab with it. One thing that I didn't know then that I now know is that there is no such thing as a white bubble tip anemone... So is he bleached and if so what should or can I do to help him? I've fed him 2 times and he takes it right away you can see where he is in the tank. I put him just to the left of a whole ( as I read ) and he moved right there and has stayed for a week. Any info would help. Thanks

I don't think they bleach. If they get too much light they just move or shrivel up. It just might be a really faint GBTA I have a crazy light green BTA myself. No issues. If he is bubbled like he is, open and eating I think you are fine. Is his mouth open?

Nope closed. Only issue I have is the coloration but I know these guys come in a lot of colors so.

You may just have a really light colored GBTA. Not a bad thing. Just a unique little dude. If you start to notice his mouth opened, starts to look stringy or withered, or chunky flesh coming off of his foot then you might have an issue. other than that. Good looking nem bro.

if they do not get proper lighting they lose color. feeding it will not make it better i would just leave it alone and let it settle in

I've had a rose bleach on me from a very pretty red to an almost pastel peach due to over skimming.. it passed shortly after that so I would say keep an eye on it! It looks good though, when mine was "bleaching" it began deflating more often and never really bubbled as much as it normally would. Also, it's mouth would not look as tight in it's last few weeks.
