Can bta withstand a initial tank cycle? need id

[level65druid]

I have a hitchhiking anemone that looks a lot like a bta. I bought all my live rock at once from a lfs to start a new tank 3months ago. Corals I bought were not on a rock. This hitchhiking anemone went through a new tank cycle if it came with the live rocks. So does this look like a bta or a condy maybe? looks a lot like a bta to me. The tentacles look uneven.

i agree that the second pic looks like small rbta

 

[level65druid]

it does look like an rbta to me as well. Question is how did this thing survive a tank cycle?

what corals have you bought? I see an alveopora that has a hard skeleton that a small piece of an anemone could have come in on.

yes looks like bta if its made it this far i wouldnt worry

 

[sonoma2nv]

rock looks well established so dont think u will have a prob keep an eye on ur testing

 

[level65druid]

cool, I guess its possible that it came on the alveopora but highly unlikely as that thing has tissue all around and underneath the skeleton as well. Don't really have room for the rbta and I hear they grow really quick. Thanks for the replies guys, I guess i'll let it be for now.

That is a nice little surprise. What kind of lights do you have?

It is a surprise, but it is way too close to my favorite coral, Is a biocube with 70w ushio 10k and 2 oc reef full spectrum par 38.
