Howdy all, I think it's about due time for yet another anemone question. I used a crappy temp probe a few months ago that was 6-8 degrees off so I was keeping my tank in the 85+ degree range for about 2 weeks before I realized my very NOOB mistake. (Got a good thermometer now). However, that caused my anemone (small RBTA) to bleach. It has survived but has only light pink tips and clear/white oral disk and much of the tentacles are that way too. That was about 3-4 months ago at this point. The anemone is still alive and (kinda) well. No gaping mouth or tucking under a rock crevice to die. It eats when I feed it raw oysters every 2 days or so, poops, and is not shrinking. However, color has not returned at all, and it has not grown at all. I know a bleached RBTA can take a LONG time to come back, but I see NO change since the bleaching stopped. Anyone ever had this before? All SPS in the tank is doing wonderfully, growing, and has great color. I have 2 AI primes over my NUVO 40 gallon so I have every reason to believe that lighting is not the problem (and I think my acro and monti growth would support that). I know I should just continue to feed and keep water stable, but I just would have liked to see some improvement by now. Any thoughts? Advice? Anyone had a similar experience?
