OK.. good. Yes a pic in this instance would be necessary. A close up and then a FTS too. Are you spot feeding? If so when, how much and what?

From the pictures I dont see anything unusual except for a bleached animal. If your spot feeding then its possible for the animal to regain some color but that doesnt mean it will be healthy. As you know your lights need to be changed soon. HTH.

Yes it is a bad thing.
Bleaching is when an anemone or coral is starved of its zooxanthellae from lack of light. When this happens its immune system is compromised and it is very week as they use this algae for energy.
