My kissing gourami ate the hell out of it. So i got rid of him. i cut the anubias into 3 and replanted them each has atleast 2-3 leaves. there a bunch of stems with no leaves on, each of them. it been a few weeks and i have had no real new growth, some new roots though. will the anubias grow back?
or should i just get a new one. i have diy co2 and i use flourish once a week.
128 watts of light 55 gallon. there is also a good amount of algea on the leaves should i bleach dip them now or wait to see if they will grow back.

I would them recover from the pruning and heal over before dipping.
Correct the issues causing the algae or move the Anubias to a shaded area to reduce algae growth.
Other than the Giant Hygro, you don't really have many nutrient hogs in the tank.
With your wattage, there are a number of stems and other plants that can do a good job for you in that environment.
Do you know how much gas you are injecting in ppm? 55 gals. is borderline-high for DIY CO2.
