Sebae looking dull...

Iv'e got a Sebae, white with purple tips, and it's starting to look a little grey/brown in color. I've got a 54 gal bo-tank with 175wMH and 135 Act-Blues for 305 watts. The Sebae is about 20 inches below the lights. I've had it about 3 months, feed once a week. Looks like it has gotten bigger but has lost some brightness. Is there a supplement for anemones or something else that is missing or should change? Feeding is pieces of shrimp/fish soaked with some Vita-Chem every other feeding.
Thanks,
Chris

The brown color it's getting means it's getting healthier. The White Bleached Anemone are not healthy, they're bleached (lost their Zooxanthellae).

Yep :yes: I agree with Bang Guy. There is a thread about a Sebae that goes from white to tan/brown under different lighting. Most anemones should not be white, and if they started in your possesion that way and now its turning back to the tan/gray then its healthier now then when you got it.
