Too White?

[U4BOYZ]

I've had my seabae anemone a few weeks now...maybe a month even. When I got it, it was stark white. It seems to have darkened ever so slighty...isn't it supposed to get more brownish? My condy was very white also when I bought it. Now it's a nice, healthy brown. Don't seabeas to the same thing?

Don't alot of places bleach there anemone's ?

It looks like it's getting a little darker, but it's still pretty bleached. It should end up looking like this.

Yes, but not on purpose. They can bleach at the LFS when not kept under the proper lighting. You may be thinking about dyed anemones and corals.

Great guys. Thanks. Saved me a 1/2 hour of internet searching/reading. :)
Nice shots capt. How long have you had it? Did you buy it that large? Impressive!

Thanks. I guess I've had it 6-7 yrs now. It was small, bleached and pitiful looking. ;)

This was a few months after I got it when the color started coming back. You can sort of tell how small it was by the mushroom in the bottom left corner. That's just a normal size shroom.

Capt,do you feed that guy?

No, not directly, but I feed my fish a homemade frozen mix that has some big chunks in it and the clowns do take the bigger pieces and feed the anemone.

My clowns ignore my seabae. :( I got it hoping they'd stop hosting the corners of my tank and my leather coral. Bummer...

Thats the thing about clowns.Sometimes they just wont move into an anemone.

Yep. Mine are simple-minded that way I guess. They don't know what they're missing!
