I’m four weeks in with this green BTA and while he was slightly bleached (pale), he seems to be settling down. He spent a couple of days in the beginning coming out and then seeking some shade. I’m Starting to see some dark tan around his oral disc, mouth is closed up nice, tentacles are sticky, and eats well when I offer food. He’s moved around within a 6” area of the tank popping out of a few different holes from the same anchor point. A few days ago he popped out the back of my rock scape, but has since moved back to a perfect viewing spot a few days ago without moving his anchored foot. I have read that the bleaching will improve over the next couple of months. I started feeding small amounts vitamin soaked mysis and LRS frozen food a couple of times a week. Any suggestions on things to improve his coloration? I have an Ocellaris clown that’s too stupid to know he’s supposed to be friends with the anemone and another Ocellaris in QT a few weeks out from being introduced. I’m hoping the new clown knows what to do.
 
Looks likes he coming around nicely. Keep doing what your doing! :)
