I think you hit new thread rather than post reply.

I hope your right. I hate to see people sold bleached nems. Just in case he is bleached, you should feed daily and keep clowns away. Hopefully he is sticky and attaches to the bottom of the tank or a rock.

Bleached anemones glow even brighter than non bleached ones under black light. It is not the zooanthellae that shows the bright glow, but the anemone tissue. Sorry, but I have to agree with everyone who has posted so far that that is a bleached and not too healthy anemone.

Here is an example. It is of ricordia, not anemones, but close enough. This pic is taken with a black light and a yellow filter over the camera to show only the florressence. The rock had tipped over which resulted in some rics getting bleached. They are the bright spots in the photo.

By the way, black light is a great tool for finding polyps which have bailed out and end up in the dark behind the rockwork. The more bleached they are, the brighter they glow.
