New rfa' losing color.

[Kanshi]

Got several RFA Wed. They got here late, so pretty stressed. Acclimated and put them in. The next morning looking happy nice color, spread out.
This morning several are loosing color big time. Still getting used to the tank? Or should I be worried.
All have good footing and look good other than faded color.
Thanks

Sometimes RFAs can expel zooxanthellae when they are still adjusting to new conditions. When you say they are losing color, are they just not as “bright” as they were, or are they bleaching/turning white?

I think they are probably just still adjusting to the tank. You mentioned they still have good footing and otherwise look okay, which is good. Just target feed them with some meaty food or some reefroids once or twice a week. They’ll appreciate it!

One the tentacles have been white since I got it. The others the color is there, but very dull. A couple still look good

Just give them some time and some food. Share some pictures of them once they are all settled and feeling at home!
