It looks a lot more white then when I got it

 

[ShanesClowns]

Yep, but really bleached.

Why is it so bleached?

How do I fix it?

It's white/clear (bleached) because it expelled/lost the majority of its zooxanthellae-- many possible reasons for bleaching. Proper lighting and water params and the zooax will slowly return.

More light for sure. What size is your tank? Salinity is also too low imo. Do you know your po4, alk, Ca, mg?

Depending on which current LEDs you have, a healthy nem might want more, but right now may not tolerate too heavy of light.

Mysis squirted towards it a couple times a week will help bring health and color back to your BTA

Smaller easy to digest foods are better than a larger chunk, it takes less energy to digest.

Your mag and salinity could be bumped up some.

I'm not sure on those lights, I'm running T5's and LED strips combo, someone else can chime on those particular lights

 

[Deiblerj]

How long has your tank been up and running?

Not too familiar with those lights. I have 4 bubble tips in my 40b under 3 Kessil360s. They love they light. Just have some good flow and crack the lights up a bit if you can.

They will move if they want more/less flow and more/less light.

What did it look like when you bought it and how long has it been in your tank? Any acclamation?

Just upgraded 2 months ago from a 55 all other corals and Haitians are doing great it's just this one anemone

I will raise my salinity ,

Just confused on these lights if it needs more or less?

It's been in my tank for a month ,
I have a Mp 40 for flow
I acclimated it for 1 hour

 

[Deiblerj]

I would turn whites down and blues up. My lights run blue heavily and the nems love it.

THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP

ANY HELP ON THE LIGHTS WOULD BE GREAT
