That depends- is it bleaching or browning? If it's browning, it isn't getting enough light. You should be able to move it up higher. If it's...
Congratulations!
An alternate trick is to corner him away from your corals then squirt him with a turkey baster full of freshwater. That will stun him long enough to...
Agreed. Can you post a pic? FWIW, mine are fairly bright, as well. Doesn't seem to affect anything, though. As someone else pointed out to me, they...
Or in hopes that they would eat what he didn't want to hide the evidence. Had the nem eaten and then regurgitated the shrimp, the remains would've...

Ah, I missed that- he is a little plump, isn't he? FTR, I've never had a Basslet...
Sorry for your loss, Todd. FWIW, IMOPE, most shrimp are thieves- they'll steal food from corals, nems, or anything else. I've lost a few myself over...
Agreed, if you're having Nitrate issues, a skimmer would definitely help a lot. BTW, a HOB won't reduce your bioload; it will, however, increase...
Very highly unlikely. In my 39 years, I've yet to find or even hear of a tank-friendly Hydroid. I'm thinking you may have them confused with a...
