Bleached Ritteri after treatment

[allendehl]

Hello guys,

My ritteri was released from Hospital about a month ago. As a consequence of treating it with Cipro for 9 days she has bleached out.
How can I help her recover its colors?

Bleached Ritteri after treatment

Provide enough light and feeding. Gradually increase the intensity of the light to help them adjust to your stronger lighting system. Plus feed the anemone 2-3 times a week.

She has been in the DT for a month now with regular lighting schedule. I feed her a small piece of frozen(and thawed) shrimp every couple of days. She is at the top of the rock, first row directly in front of the lights.

It'll take a few months for the zooxanthellae to fully populate. It's slow at first, but once it starts, it happens rather quickly.

Your lighting and feeding schedule sound fine. Just keep up the good work and you'll be rewarded in a couple of months.

Thanks D-Nak!
