My BTA looks like it maybe bleaching. Help is appreciated
Often when an anemone bleaches, its due to too much light , elevated phosphate and even lack of food. Excess light often the chief cause. Please provide pics under white light intensity for best identification

In my experience and research bleaching will only come from hot or above normal/comfortable temprature or to much/strong lighting.. If it's bleaching and dying you may wanna check, double check and triple check your parameters. Just my opinion though.. I'm not a professional by any means..

When you post your concern in the hello forum, you'll won't get much of the help you're looking for, try posting this in the anemone and clownfish forum, and attach a picture as well as your water parameters, tank age and how long you've had it, as these pieces of information are important to help resolve this issue, you should get more advice there.


And by the way, welcome to R2R! I hope your nem recovers
