Bleached Bta!

[Aquatic Dreams]

I have a large rock that has several BTA's on it that came from a splitting a while back. These guys really like this rock and are difficult to remove. I knew that there was one at the back of the rock but couldn't get it to move at all so just left it. I figured it would move when it decided that wasn't a good spot.

Well a month or so later it finally came around the side of the rock so I scooped it up and placed it in a basket. This one is fairly small especially compared to the others and is quite white. The tips have a bit of colour but that's about it. I've fed it a couple times within the last several days and it seems to eat fine. Any idea how long until the color comes back? Is there anything I can do besides feed it to help this process?

Keep doing what your doing, took mine about a month or so for him to get his Colour back to normal

Feed it small chunks of scallops.

Its very easy for them to digest and they bounce back REALLY fast with bi-weekly feedings.

OK ... Thanks for the advice guys! I actually kinna like the colour it is right now. But I know that's not how it's supposed to look and it needs to get healthy again.

I was at NoFrills last night and as luck would have it they had some raw frozen shrimp/scallop mixture on sale. So I'll be giving that a try tonight.

You should really let the shrimp thaw out before you feed it
