How to color up a bta

[10galclowns]

I don't know how to get it to get its color back when I bought it it was bleached and its doing great in my tank I feed it 2 times a week and also use this in my tank

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I have t5 high output light

Water pars are at 0 ph is 8.2

Good luck with your problem. I agree, it looks very bleached.

All I can say is I don't think that AB additive can do anything to affect the BTA unless you're overdosing or something. It's mostly meant to add trace elements for coral growth...

Spot feed lightly small pieces twice a week, hope it doesn't crawl where it doesn't get any light at all, but shaded is fine as long as it extends.

from the pic it looks like it is in a shady spot somewhat, this is good because it is so bleached,don't force it in the light, hopefully it can regain its pigment. Small bits of shrimp or fish to feed it will help it gain its strength back. don't over feed it though and not any big pieces, just like pea size. like once a week a little food which will prompt it to seek energy from the light. So often they do all kinds of chemical crap to them to make them have that bleached look so people look at them and say ooohhh how pretty and buy it. that no matter what you do they die. I always try to get aquacultured anemones for that reason.

Factoring any light source on a 10g tank you have to completly ignore the 3/4w per gallon rule. Best of luck with it, I would slowly acclimate it to a more powerful light (150w MH or more T5's)
