Color fade

[drtrash]

anyone experience color fade in anemones and did you find out what was cause and solution? Have an orange one fade not sure cause because I have done so many chances so not sure which is the culprit:chemiclean, vibrant, hydroperoxide, nitrate supplement, weekly water changes , new lights.

Yeah it would be nice to have some solid evidence as to what causes this. It seems that for every solution that had beneficial results from one reefer experience, there is another who experienced negative results doing the same solution. (Lighting intensity, feeding regiments, flow, etc)

I too have had an orange one lose its color, it was a beautiful specimen that decided to move under a rock one day and didn't peak back out until it had lost a good amount of color and tentacles became shrunken. I am going to try one thing at a time and give it a few weeks before I try something else, in better luck of hopefully pinpointing the reason. I am going to start with lighting as I am thinking it went under the rock to avoid the intensity of light it was getting.

Going to start with water quality and work backwards, domino effect got away from me
