Green bubbletip anemone lighting period?

Above are some of the suggestions on how to help your anemone recover. Other than the fact that it is bleached, it looks ok. you may want to feed it a little frozen mysis as you feed your fish tank. Dont feed it daily, once a week or every few days should suffice. Also, what brand of lights do you have? we need specifics. even though it is bright to your eye, it may not produce enough Photosyntheticly Active Radiation (PAR) to properly provide the liht needed for photosynthesis. the Anemone you have uses this to generate energy from the various algaes within its body.

again, I woudl adjust your photo period to the 10 hour range and then watch it for a few weeks.

 

I wouldn't feed. Its for sure bleached, but it can bounce back though.

Honestly, I've been really following along and your tank IMO is to new for a nem. You've been all over the map with everything from water quality to lighting to flow to acclimation of coral and fish. I don't think you've managed to keep water stable for a nem. You're getting great advice, just not sure your listening to that advice. I probably wouldn't have bought a nem that is that bleached. Keep reading and do your research. Be patient.

 

Here is the current condition of it..

Still looks very bleached. I'm going to say lighting is your problem?

 

ahh it does look a little better though, between 10-12 hours lighting

 

unless im fooled by the light it looks a little bit greener

 

Clicked again. Yes its become more greener.

 

Maybe a little greener but still bleached, there are a few articles out there for caring for bleached nems.
