    I'm going to stick with either sebae...or perhaps a small bleached haddoni.

    Other than that, I don't know.

    I think it may be a Stichodactyla haddoni. Tentacles are too stubby to be a BTA IMO.

    Good lighting and good water quality with supplemental feedings it looks like it could make a come back. There are paler colored ones, but that one is bleached.

    Way to stubby for a BTA

    Somehow, somewhere, I've seen whitich ones I thought.

    I think it looks really nice, I do hope it's healthy and thrives!

    It seems as though it's a rare nem, no?

    It can be. But the fact that its got a firm hold on the rock, isn't gaping and is regaining color are all excellent signs of a recovery, IMO.

    Also, meddling with lighting, flow, etc would just be more stress. I'd suggest you leave it alone and let it acclimate to it's new environment.
