Are all wondering bubble-tips white

[ddavis4um]

Just a theory, but I know this is an issue for many who have bubble-tip anenome- they wonder around the tank causing trouble.
I have had three and the only one that has wondered is a white one. The theory is that it has lost its zooxanthellae and doesn't quite realize that the loss of photosynthate is due to no symbiotic bacteria. It wonders around, looking for better light but never can find the perfect spot because the cause is not light, but missing bacteria.

Another reason to avoid BTA that have lost their color? :?:

Zero hits!
It's a fair hypothesis.

Sorry its not about cheep sand or how small my tang aquarium is.

IMO an anemone would realize the correct problem. Obviously you don't want to buy a bleached anemone.

There is lots of reason an anemone would wander including too much/not enough current. Being picked on by fish, not having the correct placement for its foot, JMO.
