Very good point, Tony. I guess I should have qualified my position initially - I certainly wouldn't jump all over this anemone unless I had a previous arrangement with the seller. It was in the interim that the bleaching occurred, and I didn't feel right backing out of the deal.
Hopefully the little ghost will continue toward "robustness" as it continues to take food. I don't think I have any fresh prawns though... can't imagine the tiny piece that would be necessary - this BTA is maybe 6cm across.
