Bleached out torch

ZANYMASTER · 03-28-2008, 12:32 AM

Lost it's color due to some change in the tank or something so even after several water changes,it's still white but alive.Thinking about either selling it cheap or trade,maybe my lighting was too strong for it to lose it's algae that way.Now it looks like an anemone.Thoughts?

Have you moved it out of the light and into a more shady location?
It would probably be best to try & get it to recover in your own tank as a move at this point might outright kill it....

Under an overhang or maybe into your sump..under lower lighting?

Not many shady areas in my tank but I'll try.

my torch also changed its color for no reason since there was no change in my water quality.. after 2 months it has finally come back to its original color...

I have a torch and it is at the very bottom of my 30 in. high tank. I have 400 watt bulbs and t-5 attinic`s. I would also say that it is too high in your tank move it down to the bottom and see how it react`s......

I originally had it on the bottom folks.I hope it comes back.It was so nice and expensive too.
