The thing to remember is that the anemone IS HEALTHY. If is likely to change form again as nutrient levels change in your tank, as well as lighting (both intensity and wavelength). Also remember that the anemones and corals can SHARE their zooxanthallae by taking up "free" zooxanthallae that are in the water column. This is an adaptive measure that allows corals and anemones to recover from bleaching episodes. By taking up different strains of zooxanthallae, it increases their fitness and their ability to deal with change.
