From another of my post
If an anemone lost all of his zooxanthella, he cannot recover unless he take in some zooxanthellae from the environment. There are quite a few species of zooxanthellae. Many of the ones that live in anemones and corals are obligates symbiotic so they are not in the environment, at least in too large of numbers.
........
There maybe some in the environment but not very many, if any. If you can feed a bleached anemone a few thousand appropriate zooxanthellae, it will jump start the process much quicker.
