Why hasn't my RBTA...

I know zooxanthellae lives within the tissue of corals and anemones. The only way I think zooxanthellae would be expelled is if the healthy RBTA expelled it itself and the bleached one somehow took it in if it landed in the right spot.

I disagree, I'm pretty sure there will be a certain amount of "leakage" of some in a healthy anemone. Too much water going in and out.

Water, not zooxanthellae and even if zooxanthellae leaked out, the chances of it grasping on to my bleached RBTA is remote because of all the current I have. I am not discounting your theory, I just don't see it as a plausible one. But I REALLY appreciate you chiming in trying to help me.
