how many times a week should i feed??

Asking this question you are going to get a lot of answers. Some spot feed daily some never spot feed and most some where in between. I feed my ritteri daily if I don't it's not happy and will start to open its mouth even though it has more than enough light, I guess it just likes to eat. My rbta I spot feed every other day bc I want it to grow fast and split so I can have two, and its doing just that. Which nem is bleached, and how bad? If its the bta proper lighting and feeding small pieces twice a week should bring it back. If its completly bleached it will need daily feedings till it gets some of its zooxanthele back and can make its own energy

Good care and proper conditions will help your BTAs rebound. I like to feed my RBTAs PE Mysis. I feed once a week at most, but you may want to feed yours more frequently until they color back up.

+1 on care and conditions PE Mysis or SF bay Krill are about the best to feed. Feed small amounts about the size of a pea. Both of those nems are extreemly bleached looking at the pics that last one looks almost white. It is going to need to be fed prob 3 times a week or so till it gets its zooanthelle back or will start eating its self from inside out bc its getting almost nothing from the light. Most other types of nems bleached that bad would not recover most likely. Bta's are hardy though and with proper care should recover nicely. What is your photoperiod you may have said and i missed it? Any other Questions? I'm glad to help when I can or find you some one who can. Keep us updated.

what is photoperiod?

yes the one small one hasnt moved.. the other bleached one is moving around lol
lastnight it was on a rock, this morning it was high in a corner on side of overflow and then later this morning it was down on bottom of overflow behind a rock.. now lets see where it is when i am off work.. lol th eother purple and green bta moved behind the rock and hasnt moved since! so that is good.. the lta has moved but it moved to a low sand area.. sooooo i dunno i put it in a high sant area.. maybe if she decideds to stay there i can move sand towards her..

and ill spot feed them 3 times a week or every other day.. yeah i know crazy how bleached they are..but they are open and look good otherwise.. and there is this one opening i would like to put the big bleached green one in but i was looking in there and the pink crab is in there.. hahha but there is another spot that i thought would be good, but there is one mushroom in there.. but it shouldnt matter if i put it ontop of that one mushroom? i cant really get the mushroom out but it would be a big enough hole for the big enemone to go in.. and that i think would be happy there too..

I have two BTA, one rose and one green and 4 clowns, 2x black and 2xorange, the clowns have mixed up their pairing 1xblack and 1xorange in each pair. They seem to swap BTA every week or so. Recently the BTA swapped positions, but I've had them for about 6months now and everything is fine.

 

[djam]

I feed about every 3 days, sometimes more, sometimes less, makes it more real life. mysis and brine mixed.
