Is it possible to get a better picture, from the last pics you post it doesn't look as bleached as it did in the earlier pics, i think your camera is making it look in worse shape than it really is
here is a picture of a bleached anemone that I bought in my stupid days so you know what a bleached anemone looks like
From another site:
"What is anemone ‘bleaching’? All healthy clown anemones have a population of zooxanthellae in their body tissues that helps provide nutrients to the host anemone. This algae population is brown in color, and all healthy clown anemones will have an underlying color tone of light to dark brown depending upon the intensity of lighting under which they are kept, and the size of their zooxanthellae population. In cases of stress or poor water conditions, the zooxanthellae population in an anemone can die or be expelled. This condition is called “bleaching” since a healthy, dark colored anemone can become light and pale overnight. Bleached anemones are white or translucent in color, and lack the noticeable brown undercoloring of healthy anemones. The lack of zooxanthellae puts an anemone at significant health risk, since it no longer has a substantial source of nutrients. However, even badly stressed and bleached anemones can recover if placed in a stable, healthy environment. Daily feedings and appropriate light conditions will help the animal to rebuild its zooxanthellae population and reacquire its normal tan/brownish color over time. This process may take a while – three months is not unusual."
"What should I feed my anemone? Anemones will thrive on a varied diet, especially if they have healthy zooxanthellae and are under bright lighting. Though anemones can consume large chunks of food, it is better (for the anemone and your system) to feed it smaller items more frequently. A good diet includes fresh or frozen seafood (krill, shrimp, mysis shrimp, scallops) enriched with reef vitamins (Selcon or Zoe). Additionally, prepared frozen aquarium foods work well - the gel-bind variety of Formula I/II, etc. Anemones will even eat flake food if they can grab it – some anemones will eat a lot of flake if they are located at the right spot in the aquarium where water flows directly into their tentacles. Try different foods to see which one your anemone accepts best – as individuals their tastes seem to vary. Monitor feeding based on the health of the anemone and understand that your anemone will grow based on how much you feed it. If you want it to grow quickly, feed once per day. If you want it to grow slowly, feeding once per week (or less frequently) is fine. "
