Colorado sunburst bta care

fishview · Jun 24, 2016

hi reefers

I got a nice Colorado sunburst for a few weeks now and cut in two last week. It is under blackbox led and the color is really nice. Feeding prime reef flake now.

How long should I wait before feeding silverside? Should I change the light? I read that they can morph to different color.

Any tips to keep the color and how often do you feed your bta?

Thanks
Peter

I don't feed mine and every three or so months it splits.

Do you have clown fish hosting in it? Mine is not yet hosted but will grow faster if it is.

Yes, I have a pair of Gold Nuggets in there.

I have on the moment a new light from a large vendor running on the 60 gallon cube but I can't drop a brand on that as we Beta test.
No color change.
And no picture as it is just a cube in the garage.
I got one that Tony Vargas made when he was at my house in March but the colors don't come out as good.
Will see if I can make some time any time soon to shoot a pic of the nems.

+1 on not feeding silversides my nems would always spit them back out. If you want to try a large your food then mysis maybe some squid or fresh shrimp
