Default Re: Haitian Anemone turning brown

Your lights are just fine for the anemone. Unfortunately, there are several different types of corals that may have artificial colors while they are in fish stores. Unfortunately, in the long term they either die from the process or return back to their original color. Either way, it should never be done. I did a (very) quick search for you and found a couple articles that may be of some interest to you and anyone else that wants to read up on artificially dyed/bleached corals.
