My two clowns are starting to get bigger and maybe this is just the way they're growing but I'm a little concerned about the rough texture of the white scales behind their eyes. They both have it a little bit but more so the larger female. Is this a parasite or disease or is this just how they are? Also the large female is occasionally doing something I think is flashing. In the below video you can see it just after 1:05 after the female swims infront of the rock with the cyano. Yes I know I cleaned it from most of the rest of the tank haven't done that rock. Can only get so much per WC.

I got two weeks ago today an anemone mail order. When it showed up it was all shriveled up and it's mouth inverted. After a day in my tank it was still little but the mouth closed up and it found a place and hasn't moved from it. It peeks out from an underhang and stretches far out each day. Kinda like the one that I had that died which makes me a little nervous. Should they not stretch that far? I had it under a Kessil a150w Ocean Blue for the first week and it stay'd a dark blue black color. I upgraded over the weekend to a Radion xr15 and it is a lot brighter. I'm using Reef radiance setting at 50% and then every few days I plan to move it up to 80%. It has changed color a bit hopefully because I'm using a more full spectrum light then the almost all blue Kessil. I'm concerned about it possibly bleaching. The whole nem looks lighter but also I see these blotches on the sides of it that you can see in the pictures I've taken.
Also while it's had the short tentacles ever since I got it since it is a rose and I've seen the ones that it has been split off from how can I encourage it to grow the tentacles longer and red'er. I don't mind if it has bubbles or not but I'd like the tentacles to be more long and flowing rather then short and stubby like that are. Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think pls.
Thank you,
Z
