New bleached sebae
Picked up this seriously bleached sebae for $20 today. It is badly bleached but seems very healthy otherwise. Figured for $20 it's worth a shot. I'll see if it settles in and then try a little food in a couple days. Sorry, only the blue leds are on right now.

Still looks in OK shape. Acclimate it to your light slowly and feed it every two days (after one week of settling down of course). It will get better and healthy.

Wow, that is REALLY bleached .... healthy otherwise. I just bought a very pale sebae, though it still has the purple tips. It is apparently unacceptable to my platinum clowns though

We'll see how it does. It went for a walk last night to find a new happy place. It starts the inflate deflate routine I'll pull it out and treat it, providing I can reach it in a 36" deep tank!

Still doing well, but bleached. Hasn't moved or deflated since moving to the bottom of the tank three weeks ago

Keep an eye out for slightly brown spots that indicate Zooxanthellae. If those exist then the anemone has a good chance of regaining color. If it is still totally white after a month or two then it likely has no remaining zooxanthella. In that case it would need to acquire them from another anemone or corallimorph like a mushroom, zoa,... ideally via direct contact. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

My crispa was snow white when I got it 15 years ago. I did nothing but feed it (mostly frozen krill), and it is still going strong. Yours looks healthy otherwise, good luck with it.

Mysis squirted towards it would be best, couple times a week.
I had a couple just as bad that came back, at least yours is fairly set and looks ok

Yes I agree on the mysis, I no longer feed mine big chunks of anything, just the frozen mix that I feed the tank.

Thanks guys! I've also changed to using mostly mysis for my anemones as opposed to chunks of food.

It's less stressful to digest which helps in healing, and also more natural to what a nem would mostly be taking in the wild.

Yeah I mean more natural in the means of small meaty proteins that would be more regularly consumed compared to the occasional sick fish that wanders in.

Well the silversides we think are a packaging/poor handling issue, and yeah I lost 3 healthy LTA's in one feeding years back myself, but larger in general takes more energy to digest, in fact overfeeding stress is a trick to induce splits in BTAs
