bleached out btas

[jpitch]

a few months ago my lighting fixture blew out and i lost a few days worth of light. lost most of my sps. at the time i thought i'd revamp my sump setup and pipes. i guess the combination of not cleaning the materials well enough, combined with the lack of light, shriveled up my btas(3 of them). everything is back to normal, lots of growth from my new sps, and my btas are still tiny in comparison to what they used to be. when i try to spot feed them the food doesn't even stick to them and they don't try to ingest it. they're just as bleached as they were. any advice? i've moved 1 to my 40g breeder frag tank so he's very protected with no stress a few weeks ago with no successful results. any advice?

My bta's took many many months to recover from bleaching. As long as the adverse conditions are remedied, no worries! Just enjoy the different bleached look and eventually their color will return. Feeding and ideal conditions will speed the recovery.

They don't looke like they're dieing. my percs look funny now since they're bigger than the btas. just hoping for a nice recovery. they look like baby LTA's, white with somewhat elongated tentacles. keeping my fingers crossed still...
