yes it is realy white and has been for a while. do you think he can be saved?

Sebae is an extremely difficult anemone, not for beginers. Is your tank new?

 

[mysiberian26]

well the tank has been set up for a year and has become neglected. I am taking over and trying to save what is in there before i transfer to a new 90 gallon tank. Im new to this and need all the help i can get. that link you sent said that they fed theirs mysis shrimp. do you recommend that?

I keep bta's and feed mysis (the large variety) krill and store bought shrimp. What kind of lighting do you have, actually more important than feeding, these need very strong lighting. I would recomend feeding though due to your anemone being bleached. It would benefit from soaking the food in selcon prior to feeding.
