Temp problems caused anemones to bleach and then split

[dzovi]

I had three GBTA's in my tank for the past year and a half. The temp in my tank soared when the temp in Sacramento reached over 112 degrees. I tried to put ice cubes and an ice pack in the tank in attempts to cool the tank down but to no avail. The heat wave lasted for 10 days straight. I even took off my MH lighting and replaced it with 180w of PC lighting to help manage the heat.

I noticed that the stress caused all three anemones to bleach and split. Now I have six anemones which are all pretty small (about the size of a silver dollar) and bleached in the tank. For the past week and a half I've been trying to feed the anemones silversides but half are hiding under the rock. I don't want the anemones to starve and wanted to see if anyone could please give me some advice. Thank you for your help.

Thanks. I've been feeding them silversides with mixed results. Some of the anemones are still under the rocks and it's been around two weeks already.
