Concerns over an RBTA

Not much experience with BTA's, this one has a lot of white on it's disc.

I've taken shots of the entire tank as well as another BTA that has been in the tank longer (the RBTA has only been in for about a week).

It's taking food, mouth is firmly shut...is this normal?

Are these pics from oldest to latest? Either way, the last two pics are of a very bleached bta.
What you have for lighting?
 
The last two pics are of a completely different BTA that has been like that since I got him.

The first pics are of the new BTA that I'm wondering about, due to the white in it's disc.

I have a 150 Watt HQI 15k and two 65 watt PC actinic's over the tank, which measures 38".
 
the white in the first anemone is fine, the second one needs to be fed frequently to keep his strength up until his zoox. can repopulate.

good luck
 
I would be more concerned with the tentacles in the first one then the color. Look a bit too sparse and the right side seems to have been damaged. Could have either been because of a powerhead, or a recent clone.
 
Second one has looked like that for months and months - I feed him twice a week...never really any problems. Any idea how long it'll take for his symbotic algae to repopulate?
 
Erm, second one's tentacles look like that in a corner due to a feeding just before of a small peice of krill, normally all of it's tentacles are extended. I was just worried about the white on his disc :)
