Help Anemone Looks Dead

[Massengill]

White Condys with the nice purple tips do look great, but in my experience in my past aquariums they all get their color back under strong 10k/actinic lighting, good filtration and regular feedings. They have all ended up with creamy/beige tentacles and a dark brown/tan base and red foot. For example: Condy at LFS under 5500k or 6500k 18watt flourescent that looks white, or Condy under 250watt 14k MH that apears beige . . . which one would you say is natural color and which would you say is bleached?

Well Ive had mine for a couple of years now and when i bought it, it was under 150W metal halides and it was so brown and weedy. Since ive had it under t5s its grown huge, it has so many more tentacles nad it has lightened in colour. its not stark white, its disk is biege and the bases of its tentacles but the rest are creamy white and it has purple tips. Its hosted by a herd of sexy shrimp and it eats half a silverside a week. Its not natural colour more so the amount of zoox it needs to produce enough energy to live. Since i feed the tank so much it probably doesnt need so much zoox hence it is whiter.

Condy anemones are not suppose to be white.

There is some confusion here, but I think Todd is right

hope yours is healthy...

Stop trying to feed it gold fish.

Use krill, silversides.
