Does my BTA look bleached???
 

Hi Reefers! I picked up this guy from a LFS last week. I placed him up high below the Metal Halide as I was told. He must have been stressed by the high intensity of light n has been hidden underneath the rock since Day2. He had moved from the top to the very bottom. Since he wasn't getting any light, I target fed him with frozen food every other day. Today, 6 days later, he finally showed himself n moved back to where I placed him on Day 1. :). He seems to be healthy n eating well. I got him as "Neon Green BTA" n was told that he needs LOT of light to stay that color... but I have never seen one this "Neon"!!! What do u guys think? Is he bleaching or am I just worried too much!?

Looks really nice! If the nem is unhappy it will move on its own.

yeah, the one on the left looks bleached. Good thing is that it's still eating. So keep feeding it. It will recover in no time. good luck!

My gbta is bleached out right now as well it went into hiding for a week after I put it in the tank. When it reappeared it was white, the clowns are feeding it every time food goes in.
Will the colour come back?

Does yours look like mine?

i have one identical to yours in color....its bleached....mines bleached from the leds it was a dark green before, now is neon green like yours.

Yep mines like yours almost exactly. Will it ever colour back up?

yup in no time , why did yours bleach, leds too??

Yeah I would assume, it parked itself right under one of the radions. That's maybe I need to feed it more to help it out its been like that for a few weeks now

same happened with ours , ours even spit 4 times and all the splits are the same color. the one we had a long time ago when we first got the radion is colored back up but the newer ones are like the pic.
