Bleached nem? Looks like it.

What do you think?

Yes it is bleached. Need to feed it something like Mysis every two or three days since it needs to build up it's zooxanthellae

^^ Yep, what he said

 

[dreaddinit]

Damn, thought so. I jut had to have it though. Never crossed my mind. I just target fed it some mysis shrimp. I put some in a little tank water and sucked it up with a turkey baster and kinda squirted it on his tenticles because I couldn't see his mouth clearly by the way he's laying. Is that okay?

 

[Mrw1936]

That's how I always feed mine!

[Mrw1936]

Don't overdo it on the feeding, they can only digest so much and will just have to spit it back out. A few shrimp every few days.

 

[dreaddinit]

He spit that bit out. I'll try again in a day or so.

 

[davocean]

When they are new to tank it's usually best to just leave it alone and let settle a few days or even a week, but I agree it does need mysis or similar a couple/three times a week.
Bleached nems are brought back to health often, it still has a good chance

 

[Jonathan1992]

Yes that's bleached.

 

[dreaddinit]

This is it now since it has gotten settled in. I hate it's location but I see the links and greens starting to come out. Fed it twice so far.

That's a good sign gl with the nem

A little update on the GBTA as of today (4 months later) im not so sure it is even a GBTA at all. I am starting to think its an RBTA. Maybe to soon to tell. What do you think?

Well the brown coloration is the zooxanthellae the animal also has to get its color back and the color is determined my it's genetics so if it was green at one point it should go back to being that Color but sometimes they sit get the full color but close to what it used to be give it more time and we'll see what color it regains
