My Anemone turned brown?

[DiamondRob]

Would anyone know what would cause my anemone to turn brown?
It happened after the second week I got it and have had it for a few months now. It used to be a white'ish green color and would glow really bright with the Actinic lights now its turned this dull brown color and does not glow at all. Is there anyway to get it back to normal?
Thanks

Whitish green? Was it maybe bleached? A picture of it when u got it could help. Apart from that, what kind of light, water quality etc. Would come to my mind.

Can you post up what kind of lighting that you have and your pram? Also have you been feeding it as well? Thanks

I dont have a picture of it from before all I have is this video.
My lighting is 3- 150w Metal Halide 15k bulbs. 4 - 96w power compact actinic.
Also the water is good.

It happen to my seabae anemone two years ago. when I bought it was actually dyed pink, I guess for selling purposes, but the beauty and elegance cought my eye. the color pink dissapeared whithin a week and then it turn an offwhite but then a few months later it turned brown until this day under 250 watts MH. I have done some research and it apperantly happens when they are under too much light intensity, so the cells pigmentation within the tissue change color accordingly. if your anemone is under high intensity light or way up high, it might be that it is just addapting to the enviroment. as long as it looks healthy and wide open, there should not be a problem.
