We'll i got this guy a few months back from Red Coral and he was pretty small and bleached out.
But now has gotten rather large and colored up nicely. He is now a beige tentacle with Orange tips and White strips...

Here are a few pics from when i got him and then now.:)

It is looking excellent !!! Well done.

I remember when I got that shipment in; it and another came in as a white ball of goop. They stunk so bad I nearly threw them away, but I decided to do a slow drip acclimation and they seemed to respond. It took a few months but it slowly started to come back and show a little color when you spotted it and jumped on it. You have done a good job in letting it recover to the next level. I remember buying it as a Heterodactyla hemprichii.
