Gorgeous! Any idea how many different anemones are there?
 
Beutiful aneomones IMHO as far as being bleached i will say you guys are insane. If i dont feed mine and just let them live with light only they get dark red in color. If i feed them silversides every 3 days they get to be a hot pink. IMHO they get dark red to get the food they need from the light. If they are feed they lighten up due to not needing the energy from light. I have 3 tanks all with anemones in it and if i dont feed for a month they get back to the dark red. If i feed within 2 weeks they lighten up to a hot pink.

Thanks!

Did you add multiples of each, or did they split to those numbers?

I'm not sure you understand the concept of "bleached". I simply means that the anemone has lost its zooxanthellae. I don't know why your anemones beach when you feed them, but that is what is happening.
I have a friend that has a tank with 9 RBTAs. Every summer when the water temp gets above 82 degrees his anemones bleach and after the water cools down it takes a month or so for them to color back up.
 
I bought a total of 3 RBTA and 1 Rose.
It looks like of of the RBTA just split again. I now have 6 RBTA and 2 Rose. The numbers increase pretty rapidly. This is all within 6 months.

Wow, absolutely beautiful anemones throughout this whole thread!

My picture taking skills are a little lacking, but here are my two anemones. The one in the upper right I have had for 7 months and the lower one I have only had a few days....

mario, how long was your electricity out from Ike? Did you have a generator running your tank or what?
My electricity was out for exactly a week. I had to evacuate, so the tank was without power from that Fri night and I was not able to get back to my apt until Sun around noon.. tank had been with NO power.. I lost a good bit of fish, some sps etc but most seemed to pull through. It smelled terrible.. I worked quickly, I threw in an airstone first, I pulled out all the death, did a 100% water change and ran my return pump, and carbon on an inverter for about 5 hrs.. a friend lent me his generator and I ran the tank on it 24/7 from that sunday until I got electricity back.
I actually like the rbta hot pink but its starting to color up back to normal now
