Bleached BTA

[Sylvanna Lacasse]

Hello all this is my first time posting on here so please try to be easy on me!!! To begin with I have a 54 gallon corner tank running orbit marine pro led lights. My tank is 8 months old so still pretty new but lots of good things happening.
Back to the reason I am posting... I recently acquired a bleach bubble tip anemone that I was trying to save and it's been about 2 months and the color still hasn't come back to it and now the past 3 days its tentacles seem rather deflated and mouth inflated and folded up on one side. My female clown spends most of her day slapping it with her tail to get it to open back up since that was her home and was impossible to get her to leave her nem. I'm not sure if it's dying and not wanting to pull it out of its not dying but not willing to loose all my life stock either. I do not have a quarantine tank so I wouldn't have any place other to put it.

My water parameters are
SSG 1.025
No2 0
N03 25
Nh4 0
Magnesium 1320
Calcium 400
Alkalinity 5.02

I moved the rock it was wedged in between and the foot is intact and doesn't seem to be disengrating or falling apart.
I do not feed it because the 2 times I tried feeding it a little bit of a silverside it spit it out after an hour fully intact and my clownfish feed it Mysis daily.
Please help.

Sorry for the delays in a response [HASHTAG]#reefsquad[/HASHTAG]
Have you tried feeding is something like rods food or LRS that is a combination of foods.
It will take what it wants to eat.
I suggest trying those and keep a close eye on it.
With no zooanthelle it can not produce it's own energy. Food will be key

I'm thinking that's just its normal coloration most BTA that bleach IME turn a brownish white ugly color. That one is beautiful!

Also, welcome home to R2R! You will love it here!

It looks like it might be on its way out. I would try smelling it if it's rotting

Here's what it looks like today... I'm not worried that it's not eating because I see my clowns bringing it food and every other day I turkey baste all my corals and nems with a marine mix and zoo plankton.. I'm more concerned that it is dying and I'm nervous t leave it in my tank because I have a lot of livestock but I don't want to take out an anemone when it's fine... Its tentacles are inflated which lately it's not been but the tentacles are far from the mouth and the mouth is super inflated and looks like there's lines all over. I've looked at the Karen's dying rose blog a few days back but I haven't seen any guts coming out and don't notice a smell but to me it doesn't look right
