Does this Sebae anemone look happy/healty?

I was at the LFS a month and a half ago and noticed a white Sebae in one of the tanks. I knew there are many oppinions on sebae anemone life spans in home aquarium...but...it looked healthy aside from the bleaching and it was only 20 dollars so I decided to pick it up.

My maroon clown dove in shortly after I released the anemone into the tank.

For the first 3 weeks the anemone didn't seen to be very happy. It drifted around a bit and at one point it turned upside down for 3-4 days....also it would not eat.

Then one day I looked into the tank and it was rooted under a rock and it was opened up bigger than it had ever been. I decided to feed it some mysis shrimp and it took the food in...it eats twice a week now.

Almost a month later it seems to be twice as big as it was in the store and it seems to be coloring up.


lighting provided is one 250w 14K pheonix halide and four 65w actinic PC's.

How does it look in these pictures? I want to do what I can to keep this anemone.

thank you for any help.

It certainly looks like it is getting there. I would continue doing what you are now, but instead of mysis (or in addition to), I would feed a fish based meaty food, such as silversides. Around three times a week would be good.
