anemone tank

[bbeakl1]

So Im trying to bring this RBTA back to life, he was white when I got him and he is starting to get some pink back in his tentacles. I've been feeding him alittle everyday, bc I assume without the zoonathales he wont be getting as much energy from my lighting is this a correct assumption? I have a 250MH so I have enough light, but I was wondering how long does it usually take for them to get there color back. Also why are his tentacles so small and so few, they get alittle longer after he eats.

It can take many months for them to regain zooxanthallae and the short tenticles are a sign the anemone is "consuming itself" to avoid starvation. Keep feeding small particles of a good food loaded with HUFAs.
