Well, while most will consider a brown 'sebae' healthier than a white one, white ones can still look and do well. Technically, if all their needs are met otherwise, a white one could live and even thrive indefinitely. It is just that a brown one (or one that eventually recovers its zooxanthellae) has a much better chance of surviving and doing well in the long run. It would be best for the anemone if it had its symbiotic dinoflagellates.
