That's a nice looking Rose! Awesome color. How long have you had it and where or who did you get it from?

When Tropical Paradise was still around, they had at least one of those in their display tank and they weren't willing to part with it. It was that same color for at least a year since I was keeping an eye on it. TP said Roses came in different color morphs as they come from different areas.

Yes, it is very possible that it survived a year without coloring up. Mine went about 8 months before starting to color up agan. It went from very nice deep red to that exact color and now back towards red. It still isnt back to its original color yet. And the heatwave was in the middle of last summer.

No, i don't feed the coco worm, but was thinking about feeding it phyto-feast.

I've also seen the Rose at Tropical Paradise, that's the reason i started searching for one like that in a long time, then i finanlly
found one at Great bay aquarium in Hayward, that's where i got my Rose, it was in their show tank for about 3 months, at first they wouldn't part with it too like Tropical Paradise. I did ask one of the owner at Great bay aquarium as where he got his Rose from? He just told me he got it from a friend, hey...maybe Great bay got it from Tropical Paradise. Who knows?

Do u guys have any pic of your rbta when they were bleached, or you know someone who has it, please post it! cause i just paid a fortune for that rbta and don't want it to come back as regular rbta or die on me. It has been in my tank for two weeks now and never even moved once since then, it never shows signs of stress or shrinking when the light is on, it's been like the pic i showed every day.

Yes, I think I do have a pic of it somewhere. I can look for it later. But it was the same as mine. Never moved when it was bleached. I think since when its bleached, its depending on tank feedings for food and less on light. SO its not searching for a spot with better lighting.
