Anemone's and Sanity

Got home and fed the fish.  The cardinal's still aren't eating much, but the Clown fish are beginning to - but only if I drop the food in just the right spot.  Heaven forbid they wander too far from the anemone to pluck food from the water.

Before feeding the fish, the anemone looked so-so.  No real change.  After feeding, however, it seemed to inflate again, but nothing compared to it's original fresh-in-the-tank size.

The back-and-forth is making me crazy.  I hope the anemone wins the waiting game we're playing.

Here are snapshot's of how the anemone and corals are doing:


The anemone's tentacles are inflated and extended nicely.  This morning some tentacles were short and thick, others were long and thin.  These are looking nice at the moment (at least in my opinion).  It appears as though the anemone is bleaching, though.

The Star Polyp is looking good.  Most of the polyps are open.

It appears as though a couple of polyps are bleaching.  I'll be keeping an eye on it.
EDIT - They aren't bleaching.  They tend to "whiten up" when in transition
between being fully open and fully retracted.
