Anemone question

Do you have a photo of the nem to help people see what you are talking about? Brown coloring usually is the nem producing zooanthelle, which is what it's supposed to do. You don't want it's tentacles to be white as that means it's not getting enough light. A photo would help.

 

In the first photo your nem is bleached; you don't want that. In the second photo it was starting to get it's zoo back which is what you want. I don't advise you starving it of light. Nems need a lot of good lighting. As long as it's mouth is closed, and from what I can see in the pics, it looks looks healthier in the second photo.

 

It appears to be bleached out in first pic it looks like it should under the leds. The browning means its much healthier and this is how they should look. Whatever lighting you had it under that reversed the bleaching is what it should be under.

 

There are white nems. Ive had some in the past. How long have you had the nem? In the past with mine they will turn brown then turn to the original color if bleached. If an anemone isn't happy they will move. You can also feed your nem some meaty foods if you're worried about starving it. I feed mine every 2-4 weeks. They are under Radions so I'm not too worried about them not getting enough light. Once nem bleaches it can take months for the color to come back as well.

 

I don't think there are any white anemones, all the white ones brown up under good lighting. The green is just apart of their zoo, I think. You probably are noticing less green since his zoo has came back n probably washes the green color out a bit.

 

Ive heard of places bleaching them on purpose to get people to buy them. I forget where the article was but I also read dont get one with a bright foot, red or yellow. They are dyed to look this way and will eventually die from it. My mom had gotten one like this that was yellow from a somewhat local lfs who will remain nameless since they are associated with the site. When I mentioned that to her she called them and they told her "yea its dyed". Was odd because I was with her when she got it, they had I think 3 nems and she couldnt decide which to get, the sales guy said "oh Id get this one" and points out the dyed one, but of course they didnt say it was dyed.

 

While Im thinking about it, I had gotten one that looked similar to your first pic but instead of the green you mention it had blue. I had never seen a blue long tentacle before so I was interested. But at the time it was spitting stuff out. I asked about it(different store than above but still local) and the guy said he had just fed it. So I got it, its foot was also bright red and it lasted a few days before it fell apart.
