Are you feeding directly? If not I would suggest feeding, placing a raw piece of shrimp directly near the mouth once or twice a week.

I've tried putting mysis shrimp on his tentacles but where he is I can't get to his mouth. Like I said I got his 3 days ago not sure if I should wait to feed or just try when I do my normal feedings. I've been reading and he's seems a little bleached but not as bad as some examples I've seen.

From the picture you posted, it look like you have a newer system and the anemone it trying to adjust. I would suggest to continue with trying to feet. The anemone will find a place in the system it likes with the right amount of light and flow

I had trouble with my first anemone in a newer system, and you can also try Reef Nutrition's Oyster feast so that the anemone will open up and come out. I did lose my first one because I did not feed directly at first, but the one I have now eats like a pig If fact I do not feed it anymore since it was growing so fast, I let the clown feed the anemone now.

Welcome to R2R Kdubcr250

It has lost color but from what I can see it is pretty healthy at the moment. May I ask how long the system has been set up and the lighting you use?

~cheers~

5 months. Koval LEDs ,and Coodia LEDs. Leaving the blues on the Coodia all the time and white,red, green,blues on the Koval during the day.

I would let it adjust to it's surrounding for a week before trying to feed it.

Just wait for a week before feeding.
He looks bleach

Looks like he's doing a little better. Opened all the way up . Guess only time will tell. Still hasn't been a week but definitely a improvement.
