bleached anemone dying

[plancton]

When I got my RBTA it had a nice pink fluorescent colour, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a good thing, and now that I changed to a bigger tank powered by t5s with individual reflectors, it keeps hidding, I have to constantly get it out, and feed it shrimp, but it hides again, and it doesn't seem to be getting better.

At least I don't understand why doesn't it go to the lowest part of the aquarium or something if light bothers it.

How long has the new tank been up and running?

I don't recommend moving a newly introduced anemone. It will stress it out more. It needs time to adjust to its new environment.

I would not force it out into the open, but may be gently encourage it to come out- it may be acclimating to the new lights and environment. I would make every effort to feed it often- try small meaty meals so it can get its energy back. Try different locations withing the tank - it may be that the flow or lighting is not to it's liking.

Well the anemone had about 7 months in the last tank so its not new, I also own another RBTA which is doing great and it is good to measure my lighting as it remains 1 inch from the sand.

You know the thing is that the bad RBTA is looking like a monster, real horrible, and it is started to show up a lil, not exposing itself to much from the light, and I am feeding it shrimp once a week, it does eat it.

If things go right, will it look good again one day?, I mean it looks horrible.
