    My sebae anemone was bleached and couldn't sting when I got it. What would the problems be? It now has regained it's brown color and stings. It even reacts to food better than when I got it. it has a pretty good sting. Not like superglue, more like spilled Mountain Dew that's been sitting around for a hour or two. The tentacles are turning brown. They used to be flouresent-ish green. My clowns hate me touchin/ going within a foot of it so I pick up Caboose (urchin) and use him as a Clown/hand shield. They know better than to get near him. I'll palm Caboose and that keeps them about 6 inches away.

    Sebae's are almost always bleached out when you see them in pet stores. It's probably a combination of stress and poor lighting conditions. If yours has got it's color back, it will probably do great, but be warned that they get VERY big VERY fast when they are healthy and happy.
