BBT Green w/ orange tips losing tips color

[leo1405]

Hi guys,

I have a Bubble Tip Anêmone Green with orange tips and I would like to know what could cause a losing color from the tips.

It was Green with all tips orange, but now it is almost all green.

could high nitrate cause that (it is about 10)?

Thanks in advance and sorry about my english.

Dye as well. 10 Nitrates are usually fine. Got any Pics? ALso more tank info would help greatly.

It's really odd but best thing you can do is just let it be. Sea creatures can be weird and sometimes best left alone.

what's your lighting schedule, including intensity? How did you light acclimate this guy? Any idea what he was under prior to purchase?

hi guys!

I changed my lights (AI Hydra to AI Hydra fifty-two) six weeks ago (but six weeks ago it already had lost almost all orange tips).

I was using the AI Hydra with almost 90% of power.

Now I'm using this schedule/power (and trying to going to 90% increasing power a little bit on each week)
(cool white and deep red are in 35%, deep blue and royal blue are in 90% and 83%, violet and green are in 50% and 55%)

one thing: I have a Rose Bubble Tip Anemone and it is normal and beautiful.

thoughts?

thanks in advance again.

How new is the one that's bleaching? How new is your other one?

Can you post a full tank shot?

To be honest he looks healthy other then the fact he is bleached. Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get as much info as possible before saying "I think it may be". Of coarse I'm not smart enough to remember to ask all the questions at once
