How to make rainbow BTAs pop?

[SaltyGirlMom]

Mine hang out at the top of the waterline for some reason, and are super vibrant. No clue why they chose up there or why they are so bright

Gorgeous! Are these rainbow? They are so red.

To add to the above, genetics I feel is also very important. In my wife’s 32 gallon tank, I have some that look like @Joe462 nems posted previously. I also have a different strain I picked up for free that are very bland and while they get some color pop, it’s nowhere near the other ones.

As an example, here’s the pic I entered into September’s POTM, notice the color in the two anemones (back right and front and the more bland coloration in the back left).

Here’s close to a one month update. I didn’t get new lighting. Turns out my light is fine. I just needed to increase the amount of white I was running. Everything is looking more vibrant. I bumped the white lighting up to 60%, but I recently turned it back down to 45% because I was growing too much nuisance algae. Anyways, the bubble tips have kept their bloated tips and have filled out their orange colors very visibly with higher white lighting while maintaining my blue lighting at 100%.

A few pictures of mine - I do not feed them except what they can catch when the fish are fed - only blue lights - clean water and good water movement
