Rbta not the same color?

[colesjensen]

I saw a rbta in a picture and it looked really good and healthy so I bought it. When I put it in the tank I noticed that it has lots of white spots and is more a reddish brown instead of dark red. Is there a way to make the white spots go away and change the color to dark red? Thanks.

They will always look different under different lighting for one, and can change color w/ health.
I'd give it time to settle and you will most likely see some kind of adjustment in color as long as your tank is stable and provides for it's needs, and when it comes to nems or corals always try to get a look under normal light and not the actinic only pics we see too often lately.

That's mostly likely a speckled RBTA which means the white spots will always be there. The red color will depend on your lighting. Give it time and see how it goes.
