Acquired this new green bubble tip or so it was labeled, new to nems. Eating well.

Appears to be bleaching on the inside near “mouth”. How does it look?

If you just got it I would just keep an eye on it for a week or so and let it settle in. I'd also hold off feeding it.
 
Doesn’t look bad. Nems can be weird. If it’s eating just let it be and watch your water quality. What lighting do you have?
 
I still say give it more time to adjust/recuperate and very little if any feeding( if you feel you must feed it then use small foods such as pe mysis). If your lighting is adequate it wont need food anyway. Has it been that pale or did it lose color since you had it?

Its been that pale, actually looks like its gaining some color back now!
 
Id just let it be. Nems can be very frustrating. I have 4 or 5. My GBA (which is actually tan, not green AT ALL lol) has bleached tips on half his bubbles. Hes been that way since I got him (about 3 1/2 months,) eats fine, is getting bigger, never changes location, open all the time, hosts a clown pair, etc. But the bleached tips remain. Id let it be, dont feed more than once a week- if at all- and give it time. If it seems to be getting worse then you can adjust.
