ccCapt said:Bleaching means it's loosing it's zooxanthellae, which is what gives them their colors. It's usually caused by inadequate lighting. Anemones will move around until they find a spot that gives them the lighting and/or flow they like.
ccCapt said:Zooxanthellae is a photosynthetic algae that lives inside their tissue. Being photosynthetic, their best form of food is better lighting. Better lighting will make it reproduce more and bring back the color. Feeding the anemone meaty foods doesn't feed the zooxanthellae.
