Question 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?
