Does this baby bubbletip look bleached to you guys? Was a very highlighter bright yellow fluorescence under blue light at the store, I’m a little suspicious of that color but thought it was too cool to pass up as well. Either way I’ll stick him in a shaded spot and see what happens :)
 
Hard to tell. Sometime the color will vary when traveling in a bag, even for short periods. The tentacles still look good, so it will likely be okay

Hey good to know! This one had been sitting at the store for a few weeks at about this same color, but seemed healthy enough, so I thought I’d give it a try

Your main concern after putting it into main display tank is the foot. If the foot will not attach then that is a big indicator of something being wrong. Also look for what appears to be melting or jelly like appearance. If this occurs, remove it immediately. This ine appears to be in decent health just looking at the image. The tentacles still look are out and puffed at the end which is normal

Awesome, right now its foot is holding onto some rubble. I was able to bring a nem back before that wasn’t sticking for a week, and it luckily recovered too!
