It looks WAY better than your last one they sent you!! It does seem bleached though. But its not a panic situation. You just need to keep your water quality up and feed it at least 2 times a week. (I like to feed mine a lil chunk of silverslide every third day, defrosted in tank water first)

Looks like a nice size and healthy. Once it starts to un-bleach you'll notice it getting much darker in color.

yeah, F&S are really good about their 14 day guarantee. Have your clowns noticed it yet? If they are anything like mine they won't notice it until they are right next to it (pretty much touching it). I like to wait a week or two before helping the clowns out. It gives the 'nem a chance to settle in and get adjusted before being "attacked". I usually just guide the clowns over to the 'nem with a net or something when I'm ready. At least in my experience, they will dive right in once they touch it (assuming not tank bred). I like to feed mine daily (especially if it is in a spot I want it to stay at) for the first week-then I do 3 times a week. A small chunk of silversides (about a quarter inch) should be good. Once acclimated, you can mix up the foods a bit to see what else it will take. I think it is easier to not defrost the silversides-they defrost very quickly in the tank. Seems to draw much less attention from the shrimp and other critters when defrosted-also doesn't break apart.

My clowns are tank bred. The nem is no where near where they hang out. I thought about trying to feed the clowns near the nem thinking then they might notice it. I also read on a post somewhere on RC to put a clown food clip in or near the nem to get them in there. Never tried that one, but might be worth it. The nem really seems to like where it is since it hasn't moved at all since I put it in. :strooper:
