This guy has his from the lights almost the entire time he's been in this tank. My girlfriend feeds him shrimp with a turkey baster just like she does her other anemones and he has always seemed fine but now suddenly he has moved in to the light and lost almost all the color from his tips. Some still have color and other tentacles have color spots but not on the tips? He still blows up and stays that way most of the time but the lack of color is worrying me. Does he look healthy? Am I worried over nothing?
Sorry, I'm a terrible photographer and all I have at the moment is my ancient cell phone.

It’s very bleached. Feedings and good lighting will bring it back to good health
 
That's the thing, he had good color when he was hiding from the light and now that he's in the light he has lost the color. Seems odd to me.
 
I want really clear in the first post I guess but he's usually white(sometimes tan) with purple tips. It's a Haitian condy.
 
At the moment your condy looks healthy albeit bleached a bit...should be okay if parameters and lighting serve it well.
 
Ok, sounds good. The tank just had a water change and everything tested and it was right where it needs to be so I guess he just needs to get used to being out in the light again.
