Pale Potters Angel

[indecloudzua]

Hey folks,

I've had a potters angel in a 20g qt along with a male and female anthia and royal gramma. There's some pvc pieces in place of live rock. They've been getting metroplex and kanaplex the last two weeks. The angel is eating fine and appears well otherwise. I'm wondering if anyone else had one that was pale during qt as well? Or if I should be looking out for some other signs of disease or sickness I'm overlooking. Thanks

Are you feeding it any Nori?

Yes, it's getting a small piece every other day

Also, the plan was for them to start getting introduced into the DT this weekend. Should this be postponed due to the Angels paleness

A photo might be helpful.

Has its colour paled since you got it, or was it pale to start with?

I've seen varying degrees of 'brightness' in Potters' and they can be tricky to keep. Once they are acclimated and eating and free of any flukes or other ectoparasites they do well, but getting to that point can be rough.

Glad to hear it. Stress can cause them to look washed out.

Happy to hear that is resolved.
