hey everyone i have a i have a question regarding my rose bubble tip anemone. about a month and a half ago i had it in my 10 gallon nano using 4 T5 HO lights. It looked great my tomato clown dove right in the first day i got it. a few weeks later i decided to add an over flow box to it, down to a small sump. i took everything out, 2 fishes, the anemone, and a few polops. when i put everything back in everything seem good. a few days later i noticed the anemone starting to shrivel up and turn brownish. as time went on it got worse and worse. eventually looking like it was dead. i kept hope thinking it would pull through. about 2 weeks ago upgraded the 10 to a 30 gallon tank. using the same 4 T5 bulbs. bellow are pics of how it was when i got it to how it got after and now. now its doing alot better everyday oppening up more and extending its tenticals and eating everytime i feed it and my clown is back in it sleeping at night.

My question is why does it look like it does now its kinda looking clearish white. could it have gotten bleached.

How does it get bleached. Is it the lighting maybe since it was in a 10 gallon it was shallow n lighting was to strong.
