My Bubble Tip Anemone Issue. Pics included

[bina770]

I have a BTA, for a few years they have split and split. This one in the past month has seemed to take a different spin. Meaning to say, he turned bright Orange, and really white in the middle, he still eats and attached to rock. The clown fish also still swim by him, but the colors are so different and the white in the middle is ghostly.

It really looks like it has expelled its zooxanthellae. I would continue to feed it. Mysids once a day is what I would recommend. Might take a while to get it back on track but it will.

I had a BTA do that when my tanks temp got in the low 90's....

It's definitely stressed about something. How old are the bulbs? Water temp or chemistry could also be a cause.
