Anemone help

Well today he's still doing fine, a bit more opened but stil not yet attached. Color is about the same. I've got two GE6500 40W lights on a shop light over the QT tank about 12" above him and he seems to be fine even though the total light level is lower than it should be. He is staying put on the SB next to a lg piece of LR. He did eat 2 small pieces of shrimp yesterday, good sigh. I moved the HOB filter a little closer again today to give him more flow but still gentle until he attaches. I wonder if along with being bleached his foot was damaged. I have seen a slime like material on his bottom when he was getting flipped over alot in the DT. Not always there but frequently. Still holding my breath, don't want to loose the poor guy.
 
Definately still touch and go at this point. Here's today's pics. He on the move again but at least now he's stayng upright. I think the lower flow rate of the QT is making it easier for him to stay upright.

This one is without flash. Actual color is between these but more like without.

Well, he ate another piece of shrimp today that was in my rods food. Took about 15 minutes or so for him to take it down though. Seems a bit weak. Hopefully this picks him up.
 
It looks like it has some color to it, which is good. Now it just needs to attach and stay that way. A lot of folks, including me, have had this species attach to rock and not stay put in sand.
