Got this Yuma free from my lfs. He said I could rescue it since it had been floating around his display for some time. It looks good so far. It attached itself to some rubble I put next to it. And it's mouth is usually closed. It opens up nicely. Any tips from anyone here that has ever rescued one? And will it regain its color?

Should recover. Don't blast it with light though. Give it some time and spot feed a little

I had a bleached Yuma colar come back after a few months. It wasnt nearly as white as that but that should recover.

"Feed it. Keep it in moderate or light water flow. Do not put it in a place with intense illumination, use partial shade, full shade or the farthest edge from the source of light. Do not place it in the dark. Yumas do not do well with bright light until fully acclimated. Do water changes to lessen nitrates and replace trace elements. Leave it be."
