Getting rbta to color up again?

[MA4446]

I recently recieved an rbta with his color is faded. I have mostly zoas in my 40 gal that have great color. I wanted to know what are the factors that would cause the color loss. He looks comfortable with the spot he found, I feed once to twice a week.

Is there any extra dosing, vitamin, or lighting I can do to get his color at it's most vibrant?

i think most zoa would have a less demand for lights than bta do. If you had it for less than a month, I would say it is probably still adjusting. Good that its eating.

BTA's can change color under different lighting (same general color, different intensity). If yours is turning white or more "flourescent" it could be bleaching, due to a loss of its internal algae. If the color is just more "dull" it could have excess nutrients and the internal algae is thriving, creating a browner duller nem.

What kind of lighting do you have?

I have reefbright leds. It looks like more of a bleaching then a browning. How do you improve internal algae?
