White anemones, with rare exceptions are bleached anemone and not healthy. Once they regain the zooxanthellae, they start to get rusty, brown, dirty smug initially that will spread until it is all uniformly brown. This is a good thing for your anemone. It is getting healthier. These are pictures of my bleached Gigantea that I did a Zooxanthellae transplant on. How I did it was documented here.
