Anemone Changing color?

[Reeftanks6]

I have a bubble tip anemone and i have had it for about a year 1/2. It has been doing great and has been moving around a little and the past couple of days i have noticed that it changed to a whiter color. It is usally a light orange. I was just wondering what could be wrong with it. Hope anyone can help thanks

Yep. If the conditions aren't right, it can happen quite easily. Some of the causes could be too high/low temps, too high/low salinity too high/low lights (( for high, mainly too much too soon )), and poor water conditions.
