Bleached RBTA - How to get color back?

[AliKat]

I moved my RBTA from one tank to another, and it's bleached out a bit. It's not completely white, but has lost some of its color. Is there any dosing I can do or anything else you can recommend? I'm feeding it freeze dried krill. Thanks!

try feeding it silversides or shrimp soaked in vitamins. what type of lighting you have in the new tank? if it is stronger than the last tank, it might have harmed it a little. i feed mine some oyster eggs when i feed the fish. you could try some amino acids and other benificial aditives that target inverts.

I feed Rod's food every other day. Will the nem pick up some oyster eggs from that? Any specific additives you think would be good? There are so many!

The lighting in both tanks is MH, and I think it's pretty similar wattage. It moved from a Solana to my 125g, which has a little heavier flow. I guess that could be it, too.

I wouldn't dose anything to cause an increase in zooxanthellae. The anemone may have partially bleached because of a slight increase in PAR. Can you post a pic?

You'll want to feed it smaller meals more frequently. I avoid "fish food" and feed all of my bubble tips finely chopped pieces of squid, clam, shrimp, scallop, tuna, and whatever other seafood I can find at the grocery store. Chop up a pretty even portion of all the pieces and then freeze it in baggies 3/8" thick. Just break off a piece whenever you want to feed them.

Stupid phone froze up on me. When I get it working, I will get a pic.

Thanks for all the tips!
