Getting a bleached RBTA back in color - How?

[AliKat]

I have an RBTA that bleached in the move. It was definitely stressed by this move!

Other than keeping all water levels good, what can I do to get its color back? How long should it take? It was so gorgeous.

Going through a similar situation. In additon to excellent conditions, very strong lighting, good flow and occasional feeding 3x a week. I hve heard and read it takes a long time for them to recover their zooanthelle. It is proving to be true. They can bleach fast but recovery is a long process, many months to a year.

I would try to keep it away from very strong lighting as photo shock will prolong recovery. Make sure you continue regular feedings and have moderate flow. Goog luck!

For a BTA moderate light is pref over very strong as Zoaguy stated.
Good water params, time, patience, I doubt it will take that long.
Careful not to overfeed, as that may induce splitting.
