Anemone missing tentacles

[viper_930]

My anemone doesn't have very much tentacles around his mouth. He has plenty around the edges of his oral disk, but not so much towards the center. Is there something I can do to encourage him to grow more there? Here is a pic of him. He has been like this since I got him a month ago, and still eats. Oh, and it is a RBTA.

Not that I'm aware of.
His color looks kind of week, any reason for that?

You mean like not very vibrant, or bleached? He has been like that since I got him. He isn't bleached though. His tentacles have a nice brown tint. And he actually positioned himself right under the center brace on my tank.

I agree that he is not quite bleached, but simply faded.
How long have you had him and what lights is he under?
What do you feed him and how often?

I have had him since June 2. At the LFS he was either under 4x32 watts, or 4x28 watts PC. Now he is under 2x65w PC. I do know that isn't very much, but I do feed him often. I feed him frozen mysis 3-4 times every week. He loves that stuff. He is now at least 7" wide and has grown abut 1.5" since I got him. Can't wait till he splits!
