Bleached BTA

[gclackum]

I purchased a very light flourescent green BTA once I got him home I noticed that the only color I now have is creamy white. I assume this is bleached. I have been spot feeding it and it seems to be enjoying the MH light. I've heard that they can regain their zooxanthellate. Is this possible? Can I do anything to speed the process up? How long does it take?

I have a BTA that sounds like it's just like yours. I've had it for two weeks now and it's gotten alot bigger. It eats and enjoys the MH also. It crawled it's way up closer to the light (had it on the bottom of the tank). It will be neat to see it zoo up in the next month or two.
