Bleached green bubbletip.

[DasCamel]

I've got a small bleached small bubbletip hanging out in the same spot for a few months that's slowly shrinking. He initially disappeared for a few months into the rock work but hasn't moved since reappearing. All the other Nems are doing great, so is the tank in general. Zero nitrates, .03 or lower phosphates, and an alkalinity that's creeped up a little that I'm working to lower, currently at 10.

I'm thinking he needs a zooxanthellae transfer, not sure the best way to go about it. Which other Nem would be an ok source and how to transfer?

Sounds like possible chemical warfare between your other nems and the bta

I would start running GAC if you're not already doing it. It'll take care of the chemicals from the other nems.

I think I'll pull it and get it into a cycled QT with strong lights to test the theory of chemical warfare. The other Nems are doing ok, kind of surprised he could be the worst of the four.
