What could make an rose bubble tip anemone bleach out that seemed healthy for several months?
Salinity 1.026
Alk 8.5

Nitrates 8
Phosphates <.25 API
Chinese full spectrum LED lights
2 over 100 gallon cube
Everything else seems to be doing great. Good growth on a new birds nest frag.
There is a rather large maroon clown that lives in it. The nem is 10" across. No recent water changes. The clown feeds it regularly.
 
They can bleach if they get stressed. Mine turned white when the tank got over 83 for a couple of days. It took 6 months to get it back to normal.
