I bought this LAT from petco on 7/28/13. It was badly bleached and not looking so good so I bought it at a discount.
Here is a pic of it the day I bought it:

Here it is today 8/13/13

It seams to be growing just not coloring up like I thought it should be by now. It's under MH's and led's and fed mysis daily. Am I just being impatient or am I not doing something right to get it to color up again? My mag and bta's are doing great.

Look at the tips of the tentacles -- can see the zoax starting to re-populate.
For 2 weeks, it looks like a good start. Took one of mine about a month and a half to fully recover, so you seem to be going in the right direction.
 
I guess it's from where I stare at it everyday I can't really tell its coloring up any. But I can definitely see its getting bigger. It has some green tips to it but has had those from the start. Is there a chance that it will go all green or will it most likely go the normal brownish color with a green tinted tip? This is my first attempt to bring a bleached nem back.
 
It is really hard to time, but this is what mine did,

Thanks.

Not sure, that is from about 7 or 8 years ago, back when I had my 29 -- sold it when I took down that tank.
