Bleaching anemone

[Fish rookie 07]

Hey guys I’m fairly new to this so would appreciate some help if this shouldn’t be thread etc please. Anyways I have a green BTA which has been slowly bleaching and was hopping if you guys have got any ideas. I rescaped the tank but the bta seems to be pretty happy in the light. I wasn’t sure if it was feeding as my nitrates and nitrites read just over 5ppm, I feed my anemone 1-2 times a week Artemia with garlic and once a month a small slice of a frozen prawn. I bought the anemone looking pretty bleached thinking I could save it but not much has changed. Anyone have any suggestions please?

Does he look bleached to you guys?

Yes. I'd stop feeding it. Just feed the tank. How long have you had it?

Yup, that's bleached. Got a full tank shot with nem location? What lights are you using and at what settings? Do you know of anyone else that has a GBTA to get some donor symbionts? And, what @Katrina71 is asking...
