2 and a half years into the hobby and i still get noobized by my LFS

While BTA coloration is variable based on type and lighting you can see that all these anemones are rich in coloration.

 

never seen a choice like that here, beautiful.

so you think my lighting is not helping?

i am still hesitant to believe that all my anemones are bleached

 

I looked at your lighting thread and yes it would seem it's appropriate.
The issue undecided is:

1. Since your anemones are not reaching for the light and have remained in place they are probably having their lighting needs met.
2. The depth of your tank, is the lighting adequate to for distance the anemones are residing at?

Lastly there a theory that if you buy a healthy anemone with good coloration that it will seed the other anemones with zooxanthellae.

I think you bought rescue anemones and started with probably specimens that would have perished in the average tank and now you have to play catch up.

 

well i really dont mind as long as i am able to help them and provide a better home, the tank is about 60 cm deep i have no reflectors, the btas are mid level the condys are a abit higher and the sabae is in the middle of some rock work on my sand bed at the moment

 

Get or make reflectores

HUGE difference and I over looked that.

You need those.

 

what size is your tank? 6 nems and 3 different species in one tank is quite a mix. and quite crowded depending on the tank. considering how delicate sebaes are. if oneo f your nems dies and pollutes the tank undoubtedly all of them will.

 

450 liters

 

btw coriline how big is your tank to be able to host 2 pairs of clowns? or do you have a single O. and 2 percula?

 

Those pics appear to be of different tanks.

Her current tank, BTW, is a SPS-dominant 29 cube with 1 clown and 0 nems.
