Anemone question

[dtreter]

I have a reef tank and recently added a new yellow anemone to my tank. My other anemones are doing well and are thriving. The bright yellow color of this anemone has faded over the last several weeks. Any suggestions? The location is midway in the rock formation. It moved there by itself from the floor of the tank. I am wondering if it needs better light?

Keep an eye on it,, YOU DO KNOW that those yellow Anemones that you see in the stores, although they are eye candy, that os not their actual color and they are DYED! It is said that this is not healty for them and can kill them in time, I knoe its outrageous, keep an eye on it and let us know! It doesnt sound like you are doing anything wrong.

what kind of light??

Lighting I believe is dual 10K atinic and full spectrum.
The yellow anemone was bought here (saltwaterfish.com) and no, I didn't know that they are dyed....learn something new everyday.
