I am kind of

[alexknight]

starting to get worried I am seeing a lot of bleached Nem's going around not only on here but on other sites as well... is it just me?

 

[lmecher]

I completely agree, seeing them more frequently is alarming and sad.

OK, let me see if I have this right...they get "bleached" because when they are stressed or not in good conditions they loose their zoolanxthe....(whatever) stuff?

 

[lmecher]

They expell their zooxanthellae due to stress, it is the algae that lives within their tissue, essential for providing them with proper nutrition. They bleach from stress, lack of light, poor water quality etc.

Thank you...

I know I wouldn't be risking getting one online unless I had no choice.
I'd rather drive myself a few hours to get one and bring it right back home.

Bleached?

I like the statement Bob Fenner always makes, something to the affect of check out the livestock at the LFS. If it doesn't meet the parameters of a good quality in good shape critter you are cutting your chances at suscess. Know what you are going to purchase and what it should look like, be doing and be eating.

This Bob Fenner is a wise man.
