Sebae anemone tip changed colour?

hi guys,

i bought a sebae anemone 2 days ago. it was very light brown in colour when i got it and it's tips were purple colour. today i saw it had changed to BLUE colour. what does that mean??

 

Probably just getting acclimated to your tank. Good to hear it was light brown when you got it. That's a very good start to keeping you anemone healthy. What type of lighting do you have and what are you water parameters?

 

i have 4 x 24 t5 lightings over a 30 gallon. half blue half white.
amm- 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 15
sg 1.022 ( it's low , trying to raise it to 1.024 )
temp 83 farenheit.

some white sticky stuff came out of it this morning, it sticked to the wall too. is that bad ?

 

anyway, i only have 2 snails in my tank now, how many should i have? coz they can't seem to be able to handle all the algae on the substrate and walls?

 

It must have been under M/H light's they get brown when there is plenty of light when they fade to white and purple tips the light in not intense enough

 

but it didn't fade to white, it had purple tips when i bought it, but it changed to blue after 2 days. and started squirting out white slimy stuff too!

 

the white slimy stuff is just its "poop", they only have one entrance/exit....lol you get the point. as for the color, as long as it stays light brown he should be fine

 

The anemones will color shift to adapt to the light spectrum they are under. Well the zooxanthellae will adapt, to be more correct. Like Tangster said, as long as it doesn't bleach to white, you should be ok.
Look at the slimy stuff, is it stringy looking? If it is spitting out its insides in mass, that's not a good sign. If it's just small chunks, then it is most likely poop. But the poop mine expels is usually dark brown.
