Looks bleached to me, was it like this when you got it?

 

[Rokwell33]

Yes I bought it from lfs few days ago. Do u know what kind it is

 

[bellis31]

Looks like a branching Frogspawn, just don't blast it with light and it should recover. Feed it a little mysis shrimp to help it a long once a week or so!

 

[Rokwell33]

I put it midway in my tank and have fed it brine shrimp a few times. it seems bigger and getting a green tint to it. Still haven't seen the sweeper tentacles I've read about

looks like a Octospawn. My Octo's rarely shows sweepers. Not saying they don't .

 

[Rokwell33]

That's what I was guessing so what color should it be

What color is it supposed to be?

 

[maroonman]

They can come in many different colors. These are just 2 of the Octos. I have

Yours might be the mint green color.

If you are asking about how long it will take to color up. ..I had 2 single heads I ( FOUND ) behind my rock work one day while cleaning. They were totaly bleached. I placed them about 6" off the bottom. And in about 3 month , They Had colored back up to the Purple & green .

And why are they always on the bottom of the tank in pics? B/c they are frags?

Most are on the Bottom because they really don't require lots of or Strong light . You would save the Upper areas of your tank for future corals which need strong lighting.
