+1 mine is under the same lighting and has been in a few places in the tank and never lost any colour.

Thanks for sharing that Chowder.
More people post about problems, the better we can understand them.

I will have to go check them out then. Thanks.
$40 I can afford...if they have any nicely colored ones left, that is.

How can you have them all bleaching? do you have any trace of copper or something maybe in your water? What is your salinity and how are you testing it?

They do move and quite a bit if the light is not suitable for them.

A video of my maxi mini and the porcelaine crab feeding. It's so cute to see them together:

That's interesting. I thought maybe mine had bleached because I had added NP pellets to the tank a few weeks before, but now that casts doubt on that it having anything to do with the pellets.

Mine, after about 8 months in my tank, went from looking like the first one pictured by jorjef at the top of page 6, to looking like the first one pictured by jorjef at the bottom of page 6. This happened in a space of about 2 weeks. It eats fine and does not move from its spot. I will try to post some before/after pictures later when I get chance.

Jorjef are those the same anemones? You say some of them are new so I'm not sure if that one in particular is new as well.

Sorry didn't see this post. It took about 2-3 weeks for all mine to bleach. They all were placed on the end of my rock work in a shaded area under 250w de bulbs. I also put a few in my frag tank under T5's also in a shded area. All have bleached on me and have never moved more then a inch from where I placed them. I have had them for about a year now and all still are bleached. Like Tony I have been running BIO Beads the whole time. I do realize these are low light anemones .

No new pics, just a story. I had my wife pic up one when I was out of town, I had her put it in a small plastic basket and attach the basket to the side of the tank with the mag float. Long story short he went for a walk over night which isn't very surprising but I thought he should be easy to find. That was two and a half weeks ago and it's wasn't until yesterday I finally found him. What is weird is he decided to travel about three feet across the tank passing by many spots he could have set up shop, tons on rock etc. but he decided that a good spot to be was right beside three other Maxi mini's on a rock sitting out on it's own...nice choice lol. It was like the other three were calling him " come join us, come join us!!"
