I just picked this green haddoni up at a lfs. I know it is bleached and the pictures are really bad. It's actually greener in person. Anyway, other than the bleaching, it looks pretty healthy. It attached right away, the mouth is nice and tight, and it is very sticky. Is there anything I can do to help it recover quicker? Here are some pics:

I always suggest holding off on target feedings for a few days right after introducing to your tank just on account that if it's still settling in, the food may not be all that welcome.

But generally speaking, assuming that the anemone is not already too compromised, with time and feeding the anemones will gain some zooxanthellae back. It can sometimes take months for the colour to really come in strong, sometimes maybe a few weeks.

Guess there's always a chance it might not make it, but we do our best and then hope for the best. Good luck!
