Just make sure water parameters are acceptable, proper lighting and maybe a little food.

Super bleached. What's your parameters and lighting? Do you feed it? What and how often?

Yes What kind of light do you have? I see that you have the maroon clownfish is hosting BTA , the maroon clownfish is know to be rough on an anemone, this is probable your problem. If you can separate them for a little while ,this could help a lot . You don`t necessarily need to feed your anemone,I had one for 8 years and only feed him maybe twice and It just pollutes your water because they will spit it back out food after the lights goes out!This my experience with it, some people may disagree, but I think I have learned a lot! Can you tell me your water parameters , SG , Mg , PO4 , NO3, NO2 , and how long have you had your BTA. if It is young or new he will wonder around until he finds a spot he likes. Good Luck and sorry I was late responding. Let me know how things are going and if you need anything else just let me know.

Thx, KJ. The BTA is a few months in the tank. I have RBTA that I've had a little longer and a rainbow BTA that I've had a little less. The other two are doing fine.
Ammonia tests at 0 ppm. The SG was a tad high at 1.027. I added some extra RO today to bring that down. Will test again tomorrow.
