Don't know if you can se it very good but the tips are white and the rest it is kind of translucent kinda pink a guess. Every now and then you can see a tint of green in it.

Please help any information would help.

Thanks

If it is faded pink with white tips it could be a slightly bleached rose. Tentacles look a little short, like it started to absorb itself for energy. Proper light and feeding should bring it back to full health in no time. What lights are you using? Tank size?

I'd get that light as soon as you can. And I'd feed it once a week. Mysis shrimp works best for me.

So I got the light it's been on for 3 days now have it only on 25%. It doesn't look like it likes the light. My water is good. I just don't know what else to do.
