Seeking some advice... My Black Widow has lost some of its color/webbing over the last two months. Any ideas? Too much light not enough? Or something else?? Light is a hydra 26 about 13" off the top of water of my 20g nuvo with intensity about 45ish. Parameters of the tank are stable. Also feeding twice a week ( LRS, mysis, raw market shrimp). Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance!
Posted pics are when I got it and it currently. Roughly a 2 month timeline.

I'd stop feeding it. Just feed the tank.
 
I'd try slowly increasing light or adjusting your spectrum and see if it helps. The nem looks healthy.
 
This also happen to mine as well
 
I think we may be chem warfare with the other bta. I also have it with other bta as well. Been changing the carbon every week to combat this.
