Anemone bleached?

[Kizreef]

I just bought my first anemone. When I saw it in the store it was about the size of two fists and had some light green and pink tints. I left it at the store for 2 weeks waiting for my new light (tank currently had cheap leds). When I picked it up it was closed and Appeared half its original size. Once home it opened up but only has pink tints. Did it bleach? Is it likely to survive? Once zoo leave can they ever be re-established?

Here it is with more blue light. It has a little green tint. What is the liklihood my oscellaris will host?

Yes it’s bleached. Strong lighting, keep parameters stable and do weekly feedings and it should bounce back

Agree it should bounce back as long as it stays healthy. I would suggest for now that if you do weekly feedings, just provide some frozen food from your regular fish feedings. If you want to use chopped shrimp, go with a very small piece the size of an eraser or the mouth. Mysis shrimp are a good size.
